Prime Minister Ma'een Abdulmalik received Sunday UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen David Gressly, who informed prime minister on UN economic framework project in dealing with Yemen's food crisis and swift interventions in economic and humanitarian domains.

He demanded the UN and international community to increase humanitarian interventions to face increasingly needs of displaced people in Marib.
