OIC Secretary General Dr. Yousef bin Ahmed Al-Othaimeen called for the adoption, in cooperation with the international community organizations, of quality humanitarian intervention initiatives commensurate with the scale of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen to support the Yemeni people. In his statement, the Secretary General considered the preparatory meeting for the conference to support Yemen held today at the OIC General Secretariat headquarters in Jeddah, as an important step on the road to strengthen the response and coordination mechanism among the stakeholders in Yemen to avoid duplication of action, which could have a negative impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of humanitarian intervention. Dr. Al-Othaimeen expressed appreciation for many OIC Member States for the generous assistance provided to the Yemeni people. He also valued the relief and humanitarian efforts made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Crown Prince and the Deputy Crown Prince, through King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre. --More
