Locals in the Yemeni province of Hodiedah called on the army and officials in Sanaa to take urgent measures in order to bring about an end to the blockade on Duryhami district.
Residents of Duryhami have reportedly been enduring a catastrophic humanitarian situation and the spread of skin diseases due to the blockade imposed by the coalition almost one year ago.
Since March 26, 2015, the Saudi-led coalition has been engaged in a brutal military campaign against Yemen, which has claimed over 100,000 lives.
The coalition has also imposed a blockade on all ports in the country, including the port city of Hodeidah, putting millions of Yemenis at risk of “the worst famine in decades”.
The blockade deprived two-thirds of the population, which is suffering its third major outbreak of cholera since the war began, from aid and vital supplies.
