Dr Ma'een reiterated the government's call on the UN's agencies and International organizations to relocate or open their offices in the temporary capital Aden so that they can operate freely and easily, offer relief and humanitarian aids to the people in need throughout all Yemeni provinces.

The Prime Minister also called on the International Community to support basic services including water, electricity, health, education and roads.
