Saudi ambassador to US: We continue to support Yemen until it is rid of militias
Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Washington Prince Khalid bin Salman has said that the Arab coalition will continue working to support Yemen until the country is rid of militias.
The ambassador tweeted on Wednesday a video which purportedly shows an aid warehouse which was allegedly burned by the Houthi militias.
“Aid is unfortunately often destroyed or blocked by the Iran-backed Houthis, who would rather use starvation tactics than prevent famine in Yemen. Despite their behavior, the Coalition will continue working with intl aid orgs & provide resources to alleviate the humanitarian crisis,” Prince Khalid tweeted.

“Will the international community ensure the full implementation of the Stockholm agreement?” he asked.
