In a press conference held in Riyadh, he vowed that victory is in the offing as long as the people of Yemen are united, determined and steadfast in the side of righteousness and against imbalance of forces that enabled a small party to usurp the country.

He called on all regional and international health organizations to pay special attention to the health side and provision of goods and medication, citing a shortage of medicines and spread of epidemics and contagious diseases.
