RIYADH-SABA
Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed Al Jaber said on Wednesday that the Iranian regime is continuing to send Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah terrorists to Yemen to provide training and expertise to the Houthi militia in Yemen.

In a press conference organized in Riyadh on Wednesday, Al Jaber said: "the experts help (the rebels) with the knowhow of assembling ballistic missiles and firing them into Saudi cities to prolong the war, prevent any political process, kill the Yemeni people and threaten the safety of Yemen, the region, international shipping routes and global peace."

"The hard economic and humanitarian conditions which more than a third of the Yemeni population suffer is down to the militia's mess-up."

He noted that "Saudi rabia has offered more than $8 billion worth of humanitarian and development aid to the Yemeni people since 2015."

"Out of its keenness on the wellbeing of the brotherly Yemeni people, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is making the final touches on its comprehensive plan for humanitarian operations."

The campaign will deliver humaniutarian assistance and commercial shipments inclusive of food aid, oil products among various supplies

He said that the Arab Coalition backing the government against the radical rebels will keep the Hodeida Seaport open for humanitatian aid, food aid, oil products and other stuff for 30 days and will allow the WFP to install four new cranes for leveraging aid shipments to mitigate the humanitarian crises caused by the rebels.

He said that the Arab Coalition side and the Yemeni government are coordinating arrangments for meeting the UN and humanitarian organizations to discuss their aid plans, the UN involvements in that aid delivery and the cooperation to admit them in.

"The Kingdom is taking these steps at a time when it is subjected to ballistic missile attacks from the Houthi militia," he said.

"The aim of these comprehensive humanitarian operations is to end the immense suffering inflicted by the militia upon the Yemeni people. While ascertaining that the militia is not allowed to control humanitarian aid and commercial shipment to use them as a weapon against the Yemeni people."
