ICRC: Yemeni people cannot wait; a political solution for Yemen is urgently needed

SANAA, Nov. 16 (YPA) – Fabrizio Carboni, the regional director for the Near and Middle East for the International Committee of the Red Cross on Friday said that reaching a political solution for Yemen is urgently needed.

In a statement on the situation of Yemen obtained by Yemen press Agency (YPA), Fabrizio Carboni said that stopping the downwards spiral in Yemen requires a combination of urgent measures: a political process back on track, a progressive de-escalation of the conflict, free circulation of imports and unimpeded access to humanitarian aid.

He added that the International Committee of the Red Cross welcomes any peace efforts given how much this war has hurt Yemenis and stands ready to provide any necessary support.

“While the warring sides work on reaching a sustainable resolution, the Yemeni people cannot wait,” he said.
