The Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Management and Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and International Cooperation, Ibrahim Al-Hamli, discussed with the Director of the OCHA Office in Yemen, Marcus Werne, today issues related to the humanitarian situation, in light of the suffering that the Yemeni people are experiencing as a result of the aggression and siege.
In the meeting, the Secretary-General of SCMCHA explained that the humanitarian situation in Yemen is still deteriorating as a result of the aggression and siege on the country for nine years, which worsened catastrophically after stopping food aid since August last year.
He called on the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to strengthen its presence in coordination with other organizations and United Nations agencies to work to provide assistance to the displaced and affected people.
Al-Hamli pointed out the importance to redisburse aid to various sectors to contribute to alleviating human suffering and reducing the slide into dangerous stages of suffering.
For his part, the Director of the OCHA Office explained the keenness to address humanitarian files to alleviate the existing suffering, praising the efforts of the SCMCHA in providing facilities and overcoming difficulties for organizations working in Yemen.
The meeting was attended by SCMCHA’s General Directors of Projects, Jamal Barih, international organizations Turki Jamil, and information officer Ibrahim Al-Houthi.
