In a recent UN Security Council meeting, Geng Shuang, China's deputy permanent representative to the UN, called on Yemen's Houthi group to respect the rights of commercial vessels navigating the Red Sea. 🌊🛳️
Geng emphasized the urgent need to cool tensions in the Red Sea to resolve the ongoing Yemeni civil war, which has displaced over 15% of Yemen's population and left millions in dire need of food and medical supplies.
The Chinese envoy urged all parties to prioritize the well-being of the Yemeni people and work towards a comprehensive political settlement led by Yemenis themselves. 🤝✨
He also highlighted the connection between the Yemen crisis and the Gaza conflict, calling for the implementation of key Security Council resolutions and increased international humanitarian assistance to Yemen.
With millions relying on aid, the global community's support is crucial to alleviating one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises.
