Saudi-led siege of Yemen’s al-Durayhimi ‘obvious crime’: Houthi

Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has lambasted as an “obvious crime” the tight siege that has been placed on the Yemeni city of al-Durayhimi by the Saudi-led military coalition and its ally, the militia loyal to former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee of Yemen and the movement’s spokesman, made the comment on Monday, Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.

He also said that the United Nation was making yet another crime by witnessing the brutal siege but doing nothing.

However, al-Houthi described as a “positive act” the importing of humanitarian aid, particularly food, by the UN agencies to the besieged city, adding that the food “was not enough” for the desperate and trapped people of al-Durayhimi, which is located in the volatile province of Hudaydah.

He also stressed that what was needed to be done “is to lift” the siege and put an end to the years-long deadly aggression on Yemeni people.
