Speaker of the Shura Council Mohammed al-Aidarous on Thursday called on several international organizations for assuming their roles in a manner that embodies the humanitarian goals announced by them in pressing for ending the all-out economic blockade on Yemen.

This came in letters he sent to the Association of the Senate, Shura and Equivalent Council in Africa and the Arab World, the United Nations, UN Envoy to Yemen, and UN Residnet Representative Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator for Yemen.
