Almotamar.net - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has appealed member states and civil society organizations (CSOs) to provide humanitarian aid to the Yemeni people, especially medical supplies to cope with the big number of injured as a result of the military aggression.

The Secretary General of the OIC Iyad Madani said, in a statement issued Monday, that the OIC is holding consultations with several civil society organizations that have consultative status in the organization to provide food and medical and humanitarian assistance to the Yemeni people.

Madani pointed out that the organization is discussing with the United Nations agencies and the International Committee of the Red Cross to take urgent steps to alleviate this suffering along with the study of the steps that could be taken in the medium term.

The appeal came upon the increasing number of injured people led by Saudi Arabia's aggression on Yemen at the end of March.
