Marib, Muharram 21, 1438, Oct 22, 2016, SPA -- Al-Houthi militias and putschists loyal to ousted Saleh prevented here today, the entry of a UN delegation into besieged city of Taiz. Local authority, in Taiz, expressed, in a statement, condemnation of militia of al-Houthi and Saleh's putschists of preventing the delegation of the UN agencies from entering the city today, an act which confirms disregard of the militias and the coup loyalists to the truce, its defiance of humanitarian organizations, the United Nations, the international community and the world. The statement emphasized that a UN delegation headed by Julian Hernez Rick, the country director of the UNICEF was on its way to visit the city of Taiz, on Saturday, in order to review the health and humanitarian situation of the city, meet with government entities and humanitarian relief bodies, before it encountered the militias and loyalists to the coup, in the province of Al-Misrakh and forced it to go back. Taiz local authority denounced the reckless act which is devoid of civilian or humanitarian commitment, calling delegation of the United Nations' agencies to inform local, regional and international public opinion of the nature of what is going on, in the besieged city of Taiz, and broadcast the suffering of trapped civilians, inside it. -- SPA 22:35 LOCAL TIME 19:35 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
