UN envoy arrives in Yemen in a second official trip

UN Secretary-General’s envoy to Yemen Martin Griffith arrived at Sanaa International Airport on Saturday morning for a second official visit to Yemen.
The UN envoy was received by the head of the Protocol Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abdul Ghani Al-Saidi, and the Director General of Sana’a International Airport Khaled Al-Shayef.
The visit is expected to come in light of the efforts of the Saudi-led coalition to escalate, especially in the western coast of Yemen.
The United Nations has expressed deep concern about the operation launched by the Saudi-led coalition on Yemen towards the city of Hodeidah.
“We are very concerned about the situation around Hodeidah,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement on Wednesday, adding UN staff had drawn up emergency plans and stepped up shipments of relief materials.
