FM calls on rebels to withdraw from key port city to spare it damage

NY-SABA
Yemen's Foreign Minister Khaled Hussein Alyemany has discussed with the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Mark Lowcock the latest humanitarian developments in Yemen and the government's collaboration with relief aid agencies to ensure that aid is delivered to all Yemen's regions.

Alyemany said that the government is working to alleviate the humanitarian suffering in the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah arising from the Houthi insurgents' deployment in the city's neighborhoods and occupation and militarization of schools and hospitals. He affirmed that the army and popular resistance forces with the Arab Coalition's backing are not seeking to engage in any armed clashes in the city in so far to preserve civilian lives.

He called for an international pressure to force the rebels to withdraw from the city in a peaceful way to spare it clashes.

He said that while the government is supporting the peace proposals of the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Yemen including the Hodeidah proposal, the putschists have to heed these proposals unconditionally and in good faith in order to arrive at peaceful settlement.
