On the situation in Yemen, Shoukry said "We feel sensitive to the humanitarian situation in Yemen and have been appealing to all sides to undertake political negotiations and dialogue to resolve the conflict there so that the humanitarian conditions and needs of the Yemeni people can be addressed."

"We see that the United Nations and organizations that are providing assistance must do more assistance and more assistance must enter Yemen to meet needs of the people. But, again the conflict is ongoing and we must find a political solution to it on the bases of the resolutions of the Security Council and efforts of the UN envoy," he said.
