Eryani said they discussed the humanitarian situation in Marib and the essential and urgent humanitarian needs of the displaced persons, especially after the terrorist attacks of the Houthi militia.

The Yemeni Minister lauded the center's urgent response to the humanitarian appeal of families in Juba district in Marib, who were forced to flee their homes due to the Houthi militia's aggression on their village.

KSrelief provided shelter and food materials to these families as part of the urgent response to help the Yemeni people in crisis.

He said that the Houthi militia had displaced over 16,000 families from their homes during the past weeks in Abdiya, Juba, and Harib, south of Marib.

The Minister expressed his thanks and appreciation to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for all the sincere, noble, and fraternal efforts provided by Saudi Arabia to the Yemeni people either directly or through its support for the international organizations working there.

Eryani stressed that hadn't it been for the exceptional efforts and sincere fraternal stances of Saudi Arabia, the situation would have had unimaginable consequences.

He relayed the gratitude and appreciation of President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi, the Yemeni government, and the Yemeni people.

According to the Minister, the Yemenis feel the world has turned a blind eye to the Houthi massacres and has not taken any deterrent measures to stop the war crimes.

He called on the UN and the international community to launch the procedures for classifying the Houthi militia as a terrorist group and prosecuting its leaders in the International Criminal Court (ICC).
