Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for the Management and Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and International Cooperation, Abdulmohsen Tawoos, has called for the formation of an international committee to investigate cases of corruption perpetrated by international organsations working in Yemen.
During a press conference held by the Council in Sanaa, Tawoos called on the international community to probe into the deliberate waste of humanitarian aid funds allocated to the people of Yemen, amounting $4.2 billion dollars, by international organisations implementing humanitarian projects in Yemen and suspiciously failed to meet the humanitarian needs plan of the Yemeni people during 2019.
Tawoos noted that the World Food Program (WFP) had committed to diverting aid to cash transfer, but has since started to disavow those commitments.
In the conference, Tawoos affirmed that the Supreme Council for Humanitarian Affairs and International Cooperation was formed by the Supreme Political Council, as a single window to manage the humanitarian affairs and deal with organisations, to address all forms of corruption and control the humanitarian work starting in 2020
