Speaking during the UN Security Council’s meeting via videoconference on April 16 to discuss the Yemen situation over the past month, Quy urged concerned parties in Yemen to conduct truce and emphasized the duty of protecting civilians, especially women and children.

During the meeting, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy Martin Griffiths and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Mark Lowcock briefed participants about the situation in Yemen.
