Saudi Coalition Blocks Aid to Yemen

Yamanyoon- 28 Sep 2017

The Saudi-led coalition is restricting aid imports to Yemen, Human Rights Watch has reported.

Blocking aid, fuel tankers and placing restrictions on imports is a violation of international humanitarian law, Human Rights Watch highlighted in a new report.

“The Saudi-led coalition should end its unlawful restrictions on imports to Yemen,” said Bill Van Esveld, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch.

“Before even more children suffer and die of preventable causes, the warring parties need to allow fuel, food, and medicine to reach the families that need it.”
