The agencies highlighted the grave conditions for civilians in Yemen after eight months of fighting, with regular violations of the laws of war and restrictions on the delivery of humanitarian aid. Up to 13 million people are going hungry, they said.
The agencies proposed seven concrete recommendations for the EU, including reopening all land, sea and air routes into Yemen and facilitating unimpeded humanitarian access to people in need. The EU and its Member States should also increase their financial support to Yemen to match the scale of humanitarian needs.
