Iran’s foreign minister calls on the United Nations to work toward lifting the Saudi sanctions and crippling blockade on Yemen.

The Yemeni defense minister says the country’s armed forces are fully prepared to counter all forms of challenges facing the Arab nation.

A leading international human rights organization says the Saudi-led coalition has plunged Yemen into famine and pushed its civilians into starvation by imposing an inhumane blockade against the war-ravaged country.

The UN food program chief has warned that the world is facing “a perfect storm on top of a perfect storm", urging donors to give a few days of profits to prevent widespread food shortages next year.

The eight-year anniversary of the September 21st Yemeni Revolution was marked in the capital Sana’a with a massive parade.

Local conflict and weather extremes remain the primary drivers of acute hunger.

Thousands of Yemenis rally across the country to voice outrage over continued war crimes committed by the Saudi-led coalition.
