''Targeting humanitarian workers is a challenge to international treaties and covenants,'' affirmed the Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, in a statement following the loss of two of its employees in Aden, Yemen.
The two were kidnapped by unknown armed men in Aden and later found murdered after being tied up.
''The ERC expresses its deep regret and condemnation of the loss of Ahmed Fouad Al Yousefi, Coordinator of ERC Operations in Aden, and his fellow Mohamed Tareq, while they were performing a sacred duty in one of the world's most vulnerable and complex humanitarian zones,'' the ERC added.
Such hostile acts impede relief operations and delivery of humanitarian assistance to affected people in Yemen and aggravate their humanitarian conditions and suffering, the ERC noted.
''We will continue our relief operations and development projects in Yemen regardless of challenges and risks we may face,'' the ERC reiterated.
