Meanwhile, the director of the global relief foundation Care International has called on Saudi Arabia to remove is blockade on Yemen.
Wolfgang Jamann made the announcement during a five-day trip to the impoverished country.
“We are now in the 21st century and the current situation is an absolute shame on humanity,” he said.
He said that the situation in the war-torn country is much worse than expected.
"60 percent of the country is food insecure and over half the population is unable (to access) safe drinking water. Many areas in Yemen are just one step away from a famine situation,” he stressed.
He further called on the international community to intervene before it’s too late.
"Thousands of civilians have died since the start of the conflict and millions more have been displaced inside the country,” he added.

Saudi Arabia has been leading the campaign against Yemen to reinstate the former government and crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement.
The campaign has seriously damaged the country's infrastructure. Local Yemeni sources have put the death toll from the Saudi war at over 12,000, including many women and children.
