In Conjunction with US-Saudi Escalation, WFP Reduces Humanitarian Programs

On Dec 25, 2021

The US-Saudi aggression deliberately bombed an area containing the largest population conglomerate and the largest medical gathering in an attempt to cause pain to all Yemenis.

The spokesman for the Supreme Council for Humanitarian Affairs, Talaat Al-Sharjabi, added that “this is a full-fledged war crime”.

“In conjunction with the escalation of the US-Saudi aggression against Sana’a, the organizations informed us to reduce their humanitarian programs provided to the poor and hospitals,” Al-Sharjabi said to Almasirah channel on Friday.

Earlier this week, the World Food Program said it will reduce its food rations to eight million people in Yemen starting next month, claiming it is running out of funds.

Millions of Yemenis face the threat of drowning into a famine due to the ongoing Saudi-led war on the country.

The United Nations warned that the shortage of funds will hamper the assistance it provides to 13 million Yemenis including thousands of children suffering from acute malnutrition.

After Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and other key Western powers, launched its war on Yemen in March 2015, the United Nations described Yemen as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Observers say the lives of millions of Yemenis remain in danger unless the international community takes real measures to pressure Saudi Arabia to lift the siege it imposes on Yemen. Nevertheless, the humanitarian body is using the relief aspect to put pressure on the Yemeni People.
