In a virtual session Sunday presided over by the Prime Minister Dr. Ma'een Abdulmalik the Committee called on the UN and its agencies in charge to mount pressure upon Houthi militia to allow the vaccination and immunization team doing their jobs.

The Committee ordered the Ministry of Public Health and Population to intensify the vaccination campaigns and report about the number of the detected cases of Polio infection, the regions where detected and the challenges facing health services due to the obstructions created by Houthi militia, including looting medical aids.
