Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement has called on the United Nations to seek an end to Saudi Arabia’s aggression against the impoverished country.

According to a letter written by the movement’s head of foreign relations, the fuel stored at Yemeni hospitals, where thousands of injured people are being treated, will be finished in the next 24 hours.

The UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross warned on Friday that fuel shortages are threatening to stop relief operations in Yemen.

The letter also listed several areas targeted by Saudi airstrikes, including in the provinces of Ta’izz, al-Jouf, Ma’rib, Aden and Sa’ada, and Sa’awan neighborhood in Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a.

Scores of residents of Sa’awan were killed or injured in Saudi raids while they were asleep, the letter read.

On Friday, the World Health Organization said 1,244 Yemenis lost their lives and 5,044 others were injured from March 19 to April 27. Hundreds of women and children are among the victims, according to the WHO.
