Voce Minister of Foreign Affairs Mustafa Noman held a virtual meeting with Japan’s Ambassador to Yemen Nakashima Yoichi to discuss developments in Yemen and the worsening humanitarian crisis amid continued Houthi military escalation.

Noman highlighted the humanitarian consequences of the Houthi-imposed siege on Taiz, which has disrupted essential services, particularly healthcare and medical services, and worsened civilian suffering.
