UN very concerned for civilian lives in Yemen’s Hudaydah

The United Nations envoy has expressed deep concern over the attacks by Saudi-backed militants on the coastal city of Hodeidah.
“Regardless of the humanitarian consequences of such a battle, I am also very concerned about the impact (of) the chances of a political settlement of this conflict,” Martin Griffith said on Tuesday.
Griffith, who concluded a three-day visit to Yemen, said the talks were positive, but also stressed that military action against Hodeidah would have negative consequences for its civilian population.
We work hard and focus every day on moving forward with the political process. My goal is to resume negotiations that have not been in place for a long time – and I want them to resume in the very near future.
Griffith is scheduled to report to the UN Security Council on June 18.
On Monday, a UN ship delivering humanitarian aid to the Yemeni port of Hodeidah was attacked by a Saudi.
The Yemeni Red Sea Ports Company said the ship used by the UN World Food Program (WFP) was targeted after delivering a shipment in Hodeidah.

A United Nations ship was allegedly attacked by Saudis and allies off the Yemeni port of Hodeidah.

Hodeidah, a port in western Yemen under the control of the ruling Houthi Ansar Allah movement, faces a siege from Saudi Arabia and its allies who fight God’s supporters.
Riyadh claims that the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement uses the port to receive weapons.

The United Nations is deeply concerned about the Saudi-backed armed attack on the Yemeni city of Hodeidah.

According to figures released by the Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights, more than 600,000 people have been killed or wounded in the Saudi war since 2015.
The illegal campaign to restore power to former President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, while the humanitarian plight of millions of people already affected by poverty and malnutrition in the poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula has worsened.
