The Saudi War on Yemen: Plight of population is growing as world attention wanes

The war against Yemen started in 2015 with the Saudi-led coalition’s invasion, during which time one of the world’s greatest humanitarian crises emerged. Yemen is currently facing major challenges such as Saudi Arabia’s economic blockade, which has resulted in famine; the destruction of medical centers, which has resulted in the spread of various infectious diseases; the destruction of schools and educational facilities, which has resulted in the deprivation of education for students; and the detention of media activists. Torture by UAE-backed mercenaries, arbitrary detention and imprisonment of Yemeni political activists in secret prisons by Saudi and Emirati forces, maltreatment of displaced women and girls by Salafist groups, arrests of refugees, and rape by human traffickers are all part of Yemen’s ongoing predicament.
Despite widespread backing for the Saudi-led coalition’s bombing campaign in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition has failed to win the war after seven years. As a result, the Saudis resorted to economic warfare against Yemeni civilians.
Even the United Nations has not been able to raise enough funds from foreign donors to pay for Yemen’s basic needs and avert a horrific tragedy.
The UN barely raised $1.3 billion during last Wednesday’s session, less than a third of what is required to support millions of Yemeni impoverished people. On the other hand, the humanitarian situation in Yemen is deteriorating day by day. According to the United Nations, $4.27 billion is required to help Yemen’s 17.3 million people.
Aid groups have also said that a lack of money, because wealthy Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates haven’t given much, could have grave implications for the conflict in Yemen, which has killed a lot of people, displaced a lot of people, and damaged the country’s economy.
While Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates refuse to let humanitarian assistance into Yemen, the UAE has sent two emergency humanitarian relief planes to help people fleeing the Ukraine crisis. The Saudi authorities, on the other hand, have ordered that Ukrainian residents living in the Kingdom have their passports extended until further notice and that this extension would exclude Ukrainians from any further costs or penalties.
The support of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for the people of Ukraine while the Yemeni people face the greatest humanitarian catastrophe in the world as a result of the Saudi coalition’s invasion of their nation illustrates Riyadh and Abu Dhabi’s double standards and hypocrisy.
