SANAA, June 24 (Xinhua) -- A man prepares sacks of fortified wheat flour provided by the UN World Food Program in Sanaa, Yemen, on June 23, 2019. On Monday, David Beasley, head of the UN World Food Program (WFP) in Yemen, lashed out at the Houthi rebels in Yemens northern provinces for misappropriating aid supplies. On the other side, the Iranian-backed Houthis accused the WFP of providing Yemenis with rotten and expired food assistance. However, the WFP strongly denied on Wednesday the Houthi claims on rotten foods delivered in Yemen, saying that it has a strong mechanism for controlling the food quality and it would not deliver aid not meeting the highest standards of food security.
