TheKing Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) has condemnedthe looting of food supplies from a UN warehouse, the Saudi Press Agencyreported.
The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) said last Sunday thatan armed group had stormed and stolen 127.5 tons of food supplies from one ofits warehouses in the Aslem district, Hajjah governorate, which is under thecontrol of Houthi militias.
KSRelief called on the UN and the international community to standfirmly against these violations in areas controlled by the Houthis,adding the center had previously warned that humanitarian operations in Yemenwere being targeted and that militias were wreaking havoc in the country. Thetransgressions were unjustified, said KSRelief, and there was an outrageous disregardfor the lives of people who needed food the most and who were being exposed tohunger, starvation and epidemics.
KSRelief said that Saudi Arabia, represented by the center, wasthe largest donor for humanitarian work in Yemen, especially to the WFP. Itaffirmed its continued commitment to supporting and reaching all groups andregions of Yemen to alleviate suffering.
