" Houthi attacks on Marib and targeting civilians and displaced people camps by ballistic rockets and drones complicate humanitarian suffering of Yemeni people," said al-Sa'adi, confirming that continuous Houthi militia's violations contradict international humanitarian law and international law of human rights and create new waves of displacement as this will make it difficult to international organization to provide their help and relief.
He added that the international community should denounce these violations and call the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities to exert pressure on Iran-backed Houthi militia to accept complete ceasefire and resumption of political process.
He confirmed significance of exerting utmost pressure on Houthi militia to allow to the UN technical team doing maintenance work to Safir Oil Tanker to avoid environmental, humanitarian and economic disaster resulting from oil leak from the tanker or its explosion.
