Yemeni Foreign Ministry Slams UN Over Politicization of Humanitarian Aid in Taiz

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, …

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Yemeni government in Sana’a has issued a sharp rebuke against international bodies, denouncing the manipulation of public suffering and the politicization of humanitarian efforts in Taiz province. Highlighting the urgent need to secure and reopen regional transit routes, senior officials made it clear that such practices remain entirely unacceptable.

Speaking on Thursday, a well-informed official within the foreign policy apparatus of the Sana’a-based administration stated that leveraging the hardships of Yemeni citizens has become a recurring pattern for the involved international organization over recent years. In an interview with the official Yemeni news agency (Saba), the official stressed that UN personnel continue to exploit the miseries of residents in Taiz and other areas deliberately to political ends.

Addressing recent developments, the official rejected recurring claims concerning alleged spy networks and coerced confessions, warning the public to remain vigilant against such traps. Pointing to a practical alternative, the source noted that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) successfully delivered a convoy of medical supplies to Taiz on Wednesday, operating quietly without media fanfare or propaganda. The official argued that if the United Nations were genuinely sincere in its relief efforts, it would follow this exact model.

Concluding remarks from the official reaffirmed that all primary entry and exit routes serving Taiz city have been fully secured and reopened by the government in Sana’a, ensuring smooth civilian transit and commercial freight movement. Furthermore, state institutions continue utilizing their maximum capacity and resources to supply essential provisions across all districts of Taiz province to alleviate civilian distress. Shortly before these statements, the Sana’a Foreign Ministry dispatched official notes to the United Nations, the African Union, and the European Union, documenting over 3,830 attacks and violations—including airstrikes and missile strikes—that have resulted in 768 casualties, predominantly women and children.
