Marib’s IDP Unit: No response from UN Orgs to calls for help in Abdiyah

Executive Unit for Management of IDPs Camps in Marib said the UN organizations and international relief agencies have neither responded to calls for help they have made since September, nor fulfilled their humanitarian duty towards the besieged people of Abdiyah district and newly displaced people from the southern districts of Marib. It stated this has exacerbated the humanitarian situation which would lead to a serious humanitarian crisis.
