The statement emphasized the need for the human conscience to not ignore the suffering of the Yemeni people as a result of the war and the scourge of siege, hunger, disease, and death, as well as how the exacerbation of human suffering in Yemen was accompanied by the interruption of salaries and wages and the continuation of restrictions imposed on ports and airports.

The organizations stressed that it is necessary to respond to the repeated humanitarian appeals emanating from the vital sectors in Yemen, especially the health sector.
