‘Saudi blocking of Yemen aid against Intl. laws’

“Saudi obstruction of aid to Yemen runs counter to international laws,” said one of the members of Sunni Fraction in Iran Parliament.
‘Saudi blocking of Yemen aid against Intl. laws’


Member of Sunni Fraction and the representative of Sanandaj people in Iran Parliament, Salar Moradi in an exclusive interview with Taqrib News Agency (TNA) reprimanded Saudi Arabia for refusing to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Yemeni people who sustained injuries during the kingdom's airstrikes on its impoverished neighbor.

“Saudi obstruction of aid to Yemen is running counter to all international and humanitarian laws,” underlined the political analyst.

Saudi Arabia has continued its military campaign against the country. Considering that, the representative of Sanandaj people in the Parliament demanded Saudi officials to revise their willful stances and positions toward innocent people of Yemen.  


Presently, Saudi Arabia does not help with efforts to deliver humanitarian aid and transfer of injured Yemenis for treatment. In this regard, Moradi voiced hope that in the future Saudi Arabia, through logical understanding of the present situation the region and world of Islam are in, stops its malignant measures toward the oppressed and innocent Yemeni nation.

Saudi Arabia launched its aerial campaign against Yemen on March 26 - without a United Nations mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.


On April 21, Riyadh announced the end of the first phase of its unlawful military operation, which claimed the lives of nearly 1,000 people in 27 days. However, airstrikes have continued with Saudi bombers targeting different areas across the country.

The Saudi aggression against Yemen has claimed the lives of more than 100 children over the past month, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

Thus far, many high-profile political officials called on the international community to take stronger action to dispatch humanitarian aid to Yemen, given the deteriorating human situation in the impoverished Arab country.
