The head of Yemen’s Supreme Relief Committee Abdulraqeeb Fatah has called for the release of 51,000 tons of WFP wheat stocks in the province of Hodeidah from the Houthi militia.

The stock was intended for more than 3.7 million people, WFP spokesman Herve Verheusel said.

The action is contrary to all international and humanitarian laws and contributes to the deterioration of the humanitarian situation and the suffering of millions of Yemenis, Fatah said in a press statement published by Yemen’s official news agency.

He called for the immediate release of wheat and to end all actions that continue the suffering of Yemeni people through the continued detention of relief convoys and the looting of humanitarian aid, as well as creating obstacles to local and international relief organizations.

Fatah stressed the need for the United Nations and the international community to condemn the continuation of the militia in hindering the relief work and the need to put an end to such inhumane actions that directly affect the lives of the people of Yemen, stressing that silence about the continuation of militias against these acts is unacceptable.
