The second conference of the Arab League has recommended helping Yemen face the humanitarian situation, which has been affecting the lives of millions for more than a year.
The conference on relief for the Yemeni people, held in association with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Humanitarian Forum, also recommended the international community, especially the countries which have pledged to help Yemen, to pay more attention to the humanitarian crisis in one of the poorest countries in the world.
It urged countries to work together to accelerate the release of aid and stressed the necessity to have a long-term strategy to tackle basic reasons behind poverty and deprivation.
Furthermore, the conference said alleviating the humanitarian suffering is essential to restore stability and to avoid more deterioration in Yemen since poverty and famine are key reasons for conflicts.
Earlier, the Yemeni government said there are about eight million people suffering from food insecurity and hunger.
Yemen is one of the regional countries hit by mass protests within the Arab spring, which started in early 2011.
The turmoil has aggravated its problems and the international community has started practical steps to help the country overcome the humanitarian crisis.
In addition to the turmoil, armed conflicts including the battles against Al-Qaida militants and the Shiite Houthi Group have displaced hundreds of thousands of people in the north and the south. Most of the displaced are in urgent need for foodstuff, health care and shelter support.
