He expressed indignation at the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Saudi leaders, saying that the Saudi-led coalition must end the air siege on Yemen.

Qasemi demanded the International Committee of the Red Cross to dispatch emergency supplies to those injured in the Saudi airstrikes on Yemen, reports IRNA.

He said that Iran is ready to dispatch emergency supplies, including medical team, food and medicine to Yemen and airlift the injured people to Iranian hospitals for medical treatment.

In their latest crimes against humanity, the Saudi coalition pounded the memorial service of the late father of Yemeni interior minister on Saturday which left more than 700 dead and wounded.
