Thousands of civilians, including many children, will die unless a Saudi-led coalition fully lifts a blockade that has “chocked off” aid supplies to Yemen, the heads of three UN agencies said Thursday.

“Together, we issue another urgent appeal for the coalition to permit entry of lifesaving supplies to Yemen in response to what is now the worst humanitarian crisis in the world… Without them, untold thousands of innocent victims, among them many children, will die”, said a joint statement.

Yemen has been since March 2015 under a brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition. Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been injured and martyred in Saudi-led strikes, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

The coalition has been also imposing a blockade on the impoverished country’s ports and airports as a part of his aggression which is aimed at restoring power to fugitive former president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.

However, the allied forces of the army and the committees have been heroically confronting the aggression with all means.
