In a letter sent to the UN Security Council, the UAE asserted that the Arab coalition led by the Saudi Arabia is committed to the humanitarian and relief plan for the Yemeni people, especially in the strategic port city of Hodeida.

The letter pointed to the emergency plan outlined and announced by the Arab coalition to secure the flow of humanitarian aid.

The UAE also accused Al Houthi militias of worsening the humanitarian situation in Hodeida by planting landmines, obstructing the arrival of relief and aid, and using the humanitarian situation as a bargaining chip.
