HUMANITARIAN SITUATION – June 2022

  1. The United Nations affirms that the humanitarian situation in Yemen has deteriorated sharply and that the humanitarian crisis in Yemen will further exacerbate in the coming months due to the economic situation, especially with the devaluation of the currency and the skyrocketing of food and pharmaceutical prices. However, the UN did not specify the main reason for this deterioration, namely the aggression and the all-out blockade, but rather identified other reasons far from the Yemeni scene, which is the Ukraine war.
  2. The United Nations and its humanitarian agencies have turned a blind eye to the humanitarian situation in Yemen by announcing the reduction of humanitarian and relief assistance to more than 24 million citizens, especially the internally displaced people (IDPs) and those affected by the war and blockade.
  3. The prisoners of war (POW) file has been overpassed and hidden under a bushel by the United Nations and its envoy to Yemen. The United Nation’s progress in securing the implementation of the prisoners swap deal, under its supervision, has been very weak, despite the initiatives and concessions made by the NSG in Sana’a.
  4. The National Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs affirms that the party backed by the Saudi-led Coalition of War is noticeably procrastinating its commitments regarding the implementation of the prisoner exchange agreement supervised by the United Nations and its envoy to Yemen. It sets new terms outside the agreement, including names that have not been agreed upon, and refrains from providing lists of the prisoners’ names detained by them.
  5. A joint investigation by The Washington Post and the Human Rights Institute of Columbia Law School reveals that the US has supported the majority of the air force squadrons that participated in the war on Yemen. The joint post analysis indicated that the Saudi-led Coalition of War on Yemen had 39 squadrons of fighter jets that were able to launch air strikes in Yemen. At least 19 of these squadrons have participated in the bombing of Yemeni territory, indicating that Washington signed contracts to sell aircraft, ammunition and equipment to 38 squadrons out of the total of 39.
  6. The report of The Washington Post and Security Force Monitor at Columbia Law School’s Human Rights Institute (SFM) provides the most complete picture yet of the depth and breadth of U.S. support for the Saudi-led air campaign, revealing that a substantial portion of the air raids were carried out by jets developed, maintained and sold by U.S. companies, and by pilots who were trained by the U.S. military. Moreover, the report reviewed more than 3,000 publicly available images, news releases, media reports and videos identifying fighter jet squadrons that took part in the Saudi-led air campaign in Yemen.
