Yemen’s top diplomat is pleading with the international community to send more coronavirus vaccines to war-torn Yemen.
Foreign Minister Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak spoke at the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York on Monday. He spent much of his speech criticizing the Iran-backed Houthi movement, which is at war with the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Mubarak then turned his attention to the coronavirus pandemic in Yemen, and the country’s lack of vaccines.
