The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today announced the completion of its pledge of $ 500 million announced this year at United Nations Donors' to Yemen Conference. This was stated by Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Ibrahim bin Abdulaziz Al-Assaf during his participation in the humanitarian response conference in Yemen, which is held on the sidelines of the seventy fourth session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. In his statement during the conference, he said that the provision by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of $ 500 million is an extension of its commitment to humanitarian principles and the belief that the brotherly Yemeni people do not deserve human suffering during the past five years, since the coup of the Iranian-backed Houthi militias. He pointed out that the humanitarian situation in Yemen requires a serious stand by the international community to put an end to this tragedy as the Iranian-backed Houthi militias continue to impede the delivery of humanitarian aid to those who deserve it, pointing out that these militias deliberately impose high taxes on fuel and gas to finance their terrorist operations as well as the theft of this international assistance for their own purposes. Moreover, these militias impose the principle of recruiting and placing children on the front lines of the militias, he said. Minister Al-Assaf said that the failure of the Iranian-backed Houthi militias to implement the various Security Council resolutions is an extension of Iran's actions that only undermine international peace and security. The Foreign Minister added that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia takes upon itself the principle of humanitarian action in all parts of the world, affirming its support for the stability of the peoples of the world and the renaissance and benefit from its benefits.
