Mr. Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator – Briefing to the Security Council on the humanitarian situation in Yemen, 13 Au

Country: Yemen Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. As delivered Madam President, I thank the Special Envoy for his sobering briefing and his tireless efforts to advance a political path for Yemen. This is OCHA’s sixth briefing to this Council this year on Yemen, and I wish I could report a positive shift, but the trajectory of the humanitarian crisis, I’m afraid, remains unchanged.
