Tehran, May 10, IRNA – Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Sunday voiced Tehran's readiness to implement five plans for dispatch of relief supplies to Yemen.

Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks in a phone conversation with the UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator Valerie Amos.

He strongly criticized the continued airstrikes of the Saudi-led coalition against Yemen, particularly targeting civilian facilities in the country by the warplanes over the past two days.

Amir-Abdollahian portrayed the bombardment of Yemeni airports, that were used for receiving humanitarian supplies from the Red Crescent and other international relief organizations, as a blatant violation of international regulations and human rights.

Iran expects UN special envoy on Yemeni crisis Ismail Valad Sheikh Ahmad to visit Yemen as soon as possible and make every effort to stop aggression on Yemen, Amir-Abdollahian said.

Iran is ready to dispatch fuel tankers to different ports of Yemen in coordination with UN humanitarian plans, Amir-Abdollahian added.

The deputy foreign minister also voiced Tehran's readiness to dispatch medical teams to Yemen and build three field hospitals in Sanaa, Aden and Sadah as well.

Iran is ready to dispatch humanitarian and food supplies to Yemen either directly or through Djibouti, he said.

Amir-Abdollahian also said that Iran has plans to allocate two cargo planes as well as three cargo ships to sending humanitarian aid to Yemen through Djibouti as its fourth plan for assisting Yemen.

He also voiced Tehran's readiness to carry those wounded in Yemeni conflict to Iran for receiving medical treatment.

The UN senior official, for his part, appreciated Iran's support for UN humanitarian operations in Yemen and said that the United Nations has many plans for helping the war-hit Yemeni people.
