The Closing session of Riyadh Conference on Yemen kicked off here.

Riyadh Declaration is scheduled to be announced at the end of the session.

The reason for the conference is the severe military and humanitarian conditions in Yemen that require firm determination on the part of the participants in Riyadh.

The battles are still raging in all of the south Yemen provinces and the Houthis are preventing the entry of humanitarian aid to those in need within the combat zones. They have gone so far as to seize aid waiting at the Hodeida port.
