UNSC holds closed-door meeting on Yemen

Yamanyoon- 6 Dec 2017

Yemen continues to face what the United Nations calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. UN Security Council member states are now frustrated at the lack of progress in delivering vital aid to the war-torn country due to a Saudi Blockade.

Yemeni people have been under massive attacks by a coalition led by the Saudi regime for nearly three years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against Yemeni people in an attempt to restore power to fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

Over 14,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.
