Sana'a:The Yemeni Parliament has sent a message to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, expressing deep regret over the United Nations and the Security Council's inability to fulfill the aspirations of the Yemeni people. The Speaker of Parliament, Sheikh Yahya Ali Al-Ra'i, highlighted the UN's failure to stop the aggression and blockade that have continued for over 12 years.
According to Yemen News Agency, the message pointed out a dangerous escalation in airstrikes, resulting in over 300 casualties in just five days, affecting mainly children, women, and the elderly. The letter also detailed recent attacks on markets and villages, as well as the targeting of ambulance crews and journalists.
The Parliament's message noted that more than 1.4 million Yemenis have died due to the blockade's consequences, such as medical shortages and the collapse of healthcare services. It holds the Saudi regime responsible for these crimes and criticizes the UN Security Council for its biased stance, which blames Yemen while ignoring over 4,700 Saudi airstrikes.
The message calls for the United Nations to establish an impartial international fact-finding mission and take action to hold the Saudi regime accountable under international law. It urges the UN to protect civilians, end the aggression and blockade, and alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people.
