The minister, Mohammed Askar, met the UN envoy in Cairo today. Askar gave the envoy an account on how the rebel Houthi militias' crimes are affecting the humanitarian and economic situations of the Yemeni population.

The continuity of such violations will lead to a new social reality and too complicated humanitarian situation, Askar said.
