The meeting touched on the humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the Houthi terrorist attacks on oil installations, its unilateral measures against the movement of individuals and basic commodities, including domestic gas, banking sector activities, and urgent international interventions to contain the repercussions of this escalation, and deter militias and their gross violations of human rights.
