RNA - "The Arab coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, is blocking Martin Griffiths' mission in Yemen," Head of the Supreme Committee of Yemen Revolution Mohammad Ali al-Houthi was quoted as saying by the Arabic-language al-Mayadeen news channel.

He underlined that no solution but pressuring the Saudi-led coalition leaders and its allies can resolve the crisis in Yemen politically.

Al-Houthi also underlined that the Yemeni people are capable of confronting the enemies at any level.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 17,000 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia's deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.

Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with more than 22 million people in need and is seeing a spike in needs, fueled by ongoing conflict, a collapsing economy and diminished social services and livelihoods.

According to Fars News Agancy, the United Nations aid chief has recently expressed concern over the decline of food imports to Yemen amid restrictions put in place by the Saudi Arabia, warning that a further 10 million Yemenis could face starvation by year-end.

Humanitarian agencies have also warned that halting operations at the crucial Hudaydah port would have an enormous impact on people all across Yemen, urging the warring parties to spare innocent lives in their battle for the Red Sea city.
