KSRelief Condemns Houthi Looting of 127.5 Tons of Food Supplies
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center
(KSRelief) has condemned the looting of food supplies from a UN warehouse in
Yemen’s Hajjah governorate, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) said last Sunday
that an armed group had stormed and stolen 127.5 tons of food supplies from one
of its warehouses in Hajjah’s Aslem district, which falls under the control of
Houthi militias.
KSRelief urged the UN and the international
community to stand firmly against these violations in areas controlled by the
insurgents.
The center had previously warned that humanitarian
operations in Yemen were being targeted and that militias were wreaking havoc
in the country, it added, according to SPA.
The violations are unjustified, said KSRelief,
adding there was an outrageous disregard for the lives of people who needed
food the most and who were being exposed to hunger, starvation and epidemics.
KSRelief said that Saudi Arabia was the largest
donor for humanitarian work in Yemen, especially to the WFP.
It affirmed its continued commitment to supporting
all groups across Yemen to alleviate their suffering.
