The continued blockade of the Yemeni arab coalition will lead to the mass starvation that the world faced over the past decade, and the inevitable death of millions of people living there, reports tass statement of the deputy un secretary-general for humanitarian affairs mark lococo. Lokok outlined a number of steps that are needed to improve the situation of Yemenis: "The immediate resumption of un flights into the country, humanitarian and commercial supplies in all ports of Yemen" and "The cessation of intervention in the activities of the world organization and its partners. " according to him, if the embargo is not lifted, and the above named measures are not taken, Yemen will be hunger. Not like we have seen in South Sudan earlier this year, where he was affected tens of thousands of people, not like the famine in SoMalia, which in 2011 killed 250 thousand people. This is the famine that the world has seen in decades, with millions of victims, told reporters lokok after a closed meeting of the un security council. He also said that before the closure in Yemen "The world food programme (wfp) monthly assisted 7 million people in the country". You must lift the blockade, so we can feed these people, said the deputy secretary-general. He added that representatives of the coalition headed by saudi arabia claim that they introduced measures are temporary, but did not specify when they will be cancelled. On the question of whether the coalition has removed the blockade of the port of the temporary capital of Yemen – aden, locock replied: we have no confirmations of reports that any of the ports that are needed for humanitarian operations resume. .
