RIYADH: A Saudi-led military coalition on Monday announced $1.5 billion in new humanitarian aid for Yemen, after the United Nations made what it called a record appeal for assistance for the war-ravaged country.The coalition also said it would also ?increase the capacities of Yemeni ports to receive humanitarian? imports, as it faces mounting criticism for imposing a crippling blockade on the country. The latest aid package, which follows last week?s $2 billion Saudi cash injection to Yemen?s central bank, comes amid an ever-broadening crisis in the country, where the conflict, cholera and looming famine have killed thousands and put millions of lives at risk.
