Saudi Arabia has committed unprecedented crimes in Yemen and refused to allow humanitarian aid by the Red Cross, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's deputy foreign minister for Arab and African Affairs, said on Monday.
The UN and the Red Cross couldnoteven implement a two-hour ceasefire for thedelivery of vital medicines[to Yemen], and these Saudi acts are worse than the Zionists crimes, he added.
Amir-Abdollahian said Israel had at least agreed to a UN request for thetransfer of the wounded to hospital during the regimes attack on the Gaza Strip last summer, but the Saudi regime has not even so far cooperated with the UN on humanitarian causes.
The senior Iranian diplomat warned that Saudi Arabia will suffer the consequences of its acts in due time.

According to reports, over 2,700 people, including women and children, have so far lost their lives in the attacks.
