Aden, Newsyemen
The "Red Crescent Authority" in the United Arab Emirates expressed its condemnation and deep regret at the loss of two of its employees in Aden, stressing that targeting humanitarian workers is a challenge to international treaties and covenants.
It stressed that targeting humanitarian workers is a major violation of international treaties and standards that provide special protection for relief workers, medical workers, and rescue teams.
It noted that such hostilities would hinder the continuation of relief operations and prevent the delivery of humanitarian aid to those affected by events in Yemen, which could exacerbate their suffering and deteriorate their conditions.
The authority confirmed that its humanitarian efforts will continue on the Yemeni scene, wherever there is a need for assistance, despite the risks involved.
