During the meeting, they discussed the joint mechanism to promote international humanitarian activity and ensure that it covers various target groups and areas.
The meeting tackled the necessary measures to strengthen the joint effort to face the difficulties of the field, including the necessary facilities for the UN and international teams to carry out their humanitarian tasks and duties in a broader manner commensurate with the size of humanitarian activity included in the humanitarian response plan.
The meeting discussed ways to achieve the humanitarian and development objectives of the financial allocations included in this plan, which will benefit public works, farmers and fishermen whose farms and equipment have been destroyed by the aggression.
They dealt with tragic effects of the brutal massacre of women and children in the Kushar district of Hajjah province, which killed and wounded more than 40 civilians, as well as the importance of international action to stop the futile war carried out by the coalition and its persistence in killing the people of Yemen in such a criminal manner, without distinction between the military and civilian targets.

Grande a said that the current year’s response plan aims to enhance livelihoods by financing projects that create multiple jobs.
