The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) chief David Beasley said ,Thursday, they had reached an initial agreement with Sanaa authorities to return full food aid to areas where aid were suspended last month.

“If the agreement was signed, WFP is ready to return food to the Yemeni capital of Sanaa within days from the signing,” said Beasley, adding “I have been thinking about the impact of the suspension of food aid,” expressing his apology to people in Sanaa and throughout Yemen for their human suffering.

The authorities in Sanaa had confirmed that the Program presented expired food aid and not suitable for human consumption.Despite the suspension of aid, Paisley noted that WFP last month increased the total number of Yemenis it helped, from 10.6 million to 11.3 million.

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
