Greetings fellow delegates. The Kingdom of Spain is honored to have the opportunity to work with dozens of other nations to reach ethical and viable solutions for the issues we face as a people. The situation in Yemen is currently the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. As such, the nation of Spain is heavily invested in improving the lives of those suffering in Yemen. The Kingdom of Spain is eager to accelerate and intensify the humanitarian efforts of the United Nations. Our main goal is to restore and develop infrastructure and generally improve the stability in Yemen.
Between outright war, lack of food security, and the general problems that arise in an impoverished country; Yemen has quickly taken the spotlight within the United Nations. So far, any attempts to rectify the political turmoil within Yemen have failed. The feud between the Houthi rebels and the Yemeni government continues to intensify.
The Kingdom of Spain would like to be as blunt as possible. People are dying, and there is no end in sight. We will offer aid and attempt to create balance within this nation. There is no time to waste. Spain will actively seek a route to peace and stability. Our plan for assisting Yemen is primarily focused on developing infrastructure and providing the basic necessities the people of this war-torn country so desperately need. Further attempts to quell the conflict between the Houthi and the Yemeni government are implicit within our mission. The time to help is now—Spain will not wait.
