Yemen will face a humanitarian catastrophe unless the Saudi-led coalition allows the country to import and distribute vital supplies, the International Committee of the Red Cross said Wednesday, according to Reuters.
"Humanitarian agencies can do things, but it will be the tip of the iceberg," Cedric Schweizer, the outgoing head of ICRC's delegation in Yemen, said.
"Most things are political decisions - access to fuel, ensuring that the importation of normal medicines for chronic diseases can be allowed, and food because 90 percent of food is imported in Yemen."
