Iran Deputy-FM for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, while reprimanding Saudi Arabia for refusing to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Yemeni people, called on the international community to take stronger action to dispatch humanitarian aid to the people of Yemen who sustained injuries during the kingdom's airstrikes on its impoverished neighbor.
The senior Foreign Ministry official noted yesterday that two Iranian airplanes carrying humanitarian aid and medicine as well as the injured Yemenis, who have been treated in Iran, left for Yemen over the past two days after obtaining legal permission, but they were forced by Saudi Arabia to turn back.
Amir-Abdollahian, during a phone conversation with Dr. Peter Maurer, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), said more serious actions were needed to improve the pharmaceutical and food assistance to the people of Yemen.
