Aden, Dhu-Al-Qa'dah 26, 1438, Aug 18, 2017, SPA -- UN humanitarian affairs coordinator Jime Mcgoldrick today accused Houthi coup leaders and troops loyal to deposed president Ali Saleh of derailing relief work in Yemen in the areas they are still controlling.
In a press conference Mcgoldrick held in capital Sanaa, he said that partners of the humanitarian work are for months facing problems forcing them not to have access to areas still controlled by coup militias, citing the interference in the humanitarian effort, choosing the executive partners and kidnapping relief-assigned trucks.
