Hans Grundberg, the UN special envoy for Yemen, has sounded the alarm over a worsening economic and humanitarian situation in the war-ravaged country, which remains under the crippling Saudi-led siege. The envoy called for a renewed cessation of attacks on Yemen by Riyadh and its coalition allies. The special envoy said the international community and, more importantly, the Yemenis expect to see actionable commitment to a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
The war led by the regime in Riyadh, which has been enjoying unstinting arms, logistical, and political support from the United States and other Western states, has also displaced millions of Yemenis. It has spread famine and infectious diseases nationwide.
The war has been seeking to change Yemen’s ruling structure in favor of the impoverished country’s former Riyadh- and Washington-friendly rulers and crush the Ansarullah movement. The Saudi-led coalition, however, has failed to meet any of its objectives in the face of the stiff resistance put up by the Yemeni nation
