The United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths arrived in the capital Sana’a on Sunday to facilitate a humanitarian "medical air bridge", al-Masirah TV reported.
The air bridge, launched by the Saudi-led coalition in cooperation with the World Health Organization, is scheduled to open on Monday. Patients, with chronic diseases which cannot be treated inside Yemen, will be airlifted by UN chartered air flights from Sanaa airport to hospitals in Jordan and Egypt.
Yemen's airspace has been controlled by the Saudi-led coalition since its intervention in the Yemeni conflict in March 2015 to support the resigned regime of former President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
