The UN special envoy for Yemen on Tuesday reiterated call on Yemeni warring parties to cease fire and get ready for fighting COVID-19 pandemic.
It is unrealistic to expect any significant containment of the disease amid raging war, Envoy Martin Griffiths tweeted.
The looming threat is too dangerous to be politicized, so it is time for work, he warned.
The parties to Yemen's conflict have a responsibility to their people for stopping the fighting and focusing on this disaster at once, the UN official urged.
