Iran Urges Int’l Red Cross to Help Lift Yemen Siege

Irlou made the remarks during his meeting with the representative of the ICRC Katrina Raines on Monday, stressing that the siege has affected every aspect of the people’s lives and has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

He called on the ICRC to focus its endeavors on alleviating the intensity of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen by putting pressure on the international community to end the siege of the impoverished country by criminal Saudi-led coalition.

Katrina Raines, for her part, emphasized that she will do her best to reduce the problems of Yemeni people.

In relevant remarks on Sunday, Irlou said the invading countries do not care about the fate of the Yemeni nation and are merely intent to satisfy the Saudi regime.

“The countries that waged a war against Yemen do not care about the humanitarian crisis in the country,” Irlou wrote on his Twitter account on Sunday, adding that they want an agreement which fulfills the ambitions of Al-e Saud.  

He added that the Yemeni people are determined to achieve peace, end the war and the siege.
