The statement also mentions the airstrike on the village of A-Shariya in the city of Bnei Hashish in the east of Sana'a district, as a result of which 33 people were murdered, including several women and children.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the harm to the members of the Al-Masra network's communications staff in Yemen during their news activities and emphasized: These attacks are not only clearly contrary to Article 4 of Article 2 of the United Nations Charter, but also a clear violation of the basic principles of humanitarian rights and an example of a war crime.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered among the requirements for the realization of this process the immediate cessation of military attacks, the end of the total blockade and respect for the right of the Yemeni people to determine their own destiny.
