a-vis the world consensus in support of the determination storm operation, Asiri recalled that the Yemeni legitimate government has appealed to the Arab and Islamic nations as well as the world community to dispel the Houthis, who seized the legitimate power in Sanaa, from kidnapping the country, its people and government, receiving unprecedented support of peace-loving countries. He added that it is also obvious that non-peace-loving powers stand by the side of their pairs, noting that when the militias dared to dismantle the state of Yemen, terrorist elements, including Al-Qaeda which is seen apparently active in Yemen today, came up high. He expressed belief that all world community is interested in a safe and stable Yemen, referring to the geographical site of the country as controller of Bab Al-Mandab strait, a crucial world waterway at the southern exit/entry of the Red Sea. Asked how the coalition forces are planning to close the way before the current movements of Houthi militias from place to place, and to pinpoint the location of Al-Qaeda as regards Shabwa, Asiri said the movement of the militias is now crippled in comparison to that at the beginning of the storm, describing the movement now as "isolated" and that their storming the Yemeni city of Ebb today is part of the same propaganda scenario of Aden, aiming at terrifying the innocent population, and triggering chaos. He added that TV stations, were, as everybody knows, robbed of their capabilities because the militias turned to be mere bands who lack a leadership, command or control or ability to provide its cut-off segments with supplies of any kind of logistics, a development Asiri described as a sign of good omen bringing them nearer to their fate. Asked to cast light on sending humanitarian assistance through boats or vessels to the needy inside Aden, Asiri said the coalition forces yesterday announced that the Red Cross has reached, but remained stranded at, the port of Aden due to deteriorating security situation around the port, hindering them from reaching the city. He said the coalition forces is in contact with them to guarantee the delivery of medical support and medical equipment to reach hospitals inside Aden. He concluded that "till now, we could not guarantee their safe departure of the port area, but are working hard to overcome this problem soon".
