4. “Those people, who are experiencing a humanitarian crisis, are being hosted in 11 of our 22 governorates. In spite the efforts of the Government to shelter and provide them with the necessary services, our limited resources prevent us from alleviating their suffering. In spite of the hardships we face in our country, Yemen hosts almost lmillion refugees from Somalia and the Horn of Africa, who, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, continue to flow into Yemen. Yemen is a partner of the international community in combating terrorism. We are also a country that has been affected by that scourge. My Government is committed to fighting terrorism as much as we can. At the same time, however, we count on the support of the international community to confront that challenge.”

According to United Nations statistics, the lives of 8 million Yemeni people are in jeopardy and they are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. The number of refugees and internally displaced persons - including from the governorates of Abyan, Sadah, Lahij, Hajjah, Adan, Amran and Taizz - has risen to 500,000.”

6. “Since the signing of that initiative, my country has experienced a number of positive developments, including the establishment of a Government of national reconciliation and a military and security committee. Most important were the presidential elections held on 21 February, which enjoyed a high level of participation by the people of Yemen and brought to office His Excellency Mr. Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi Mansour as President of the Republic of Yemen. The Government of national reconciliation continues to face serious challenges that hinder the implementation of its development and economic programmes, including the suffocating economic crisis stemming from our limited resources and the stagnation in economic activity since 2011. The people of Yemen still continue to suffer as a result of ongoing shortages of electricity and water.”
