The two-day international conference on relief for Yemen concluded on Saturday in Istanbul.
Around 350 representatives from 100 international relief and Islamic organizations attended the conference which put the spotlight on the humanitarian suffering in Yemen.
The armed conflict which was sparked by the ouster of the government by the Houthi militants in late 2014 has left 80% of the Yemeni people in need of emergency aid. The persistent fighting has been preventing agencies from delivering aid to many of the affected.
And the insufficient aid represents another problem amid warnings of imminent hunger and collapse of the healthcare system due to lack of supplies primarily dye to a blockade on the country's sea, land and air routes.
The blockade was part of the Saudi-led military intervention launched against the Houthi militants in late March.
Moreover, the conference focused on the impacts of the months-long armed conflict such as security deterioration, attacks on civil and public infrastructures and absence of basic services.
The conference recommended to fund and launch sustainable development projects with priority to be given to Yemeni workforce inside and outside Yemen, activating and investing charity funds, building capacities of organizations, preparing a guide for donor projects and enhancing the roles of businessmen and the private sector.
In addition, the participants urged to hold workshops that should discuss and produce plans of relief and sustainable development projects and called on foreign countries to facilitate movement of Yemenis and their investments outside their country.
A committee was formed to coordinate the efforts of international relief agencies in order to ensure delivery of relief aid to the people in affected Yemeni areas as well as following up release and overseeing utility of aid pledged at the conference.
The engaged agencies included the world assembly of the Muslim Youth, the world relief, the Qatari RAF organization, the Dawah foundation and the Masajid international organization.
