Al-Hamali discusses with UN coordinator repercussions of reduction of humanitarian aid

SANAA, Sept. 11 (YPA) – The Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for the Management and Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and International Cooperation, Ibrahim Al-Hamli, on Sunday discussed with the UN Resident Representative and Humanitarian Coordinator in Sanaa, David Gressly, the repercussions of the continued reduction of humanitarian aid.

The meeting touched on the worst human suffering in the world that the Yemeni people are experiencing as a result of the aggression and siege, which has been exacerbated by the continuous curtailment of humanitarian aid.

In the meeting, Al-Hamli explained that the prevention of oil derivatives ships from entering the port of Hodeida has exacerbated the suffering of the Yemeni people, and negatively affected the performance of hospitals, health centers and all service sectors.

Al-Hamali called for the United Nations and international organizations to fulfill their duty towards the suffering of the Yemeni people through advocacy, reducing operating expenses and re-disbursing aid on an ongoing basis to contribute to alleviating human suffering.

He noted the importance of coordination between the Council and the United Nations to advance humanitarian work and improve programs, projects and activities for humanitarian and development interventions.

For his part, the UN official affirmed his readiness to make more efforts in this aspect to alleviate the suffering of Yemenis.
