In a statement on Monday evening, the Iranian spokeswoman denounced a Saudi attack on Mokha port city in the southern province of Ta’izz, and called on the United Nations and relevant international bodies to deal with the catastrophic situation in the impoverished Arab country.
Afkham also expressed deep condolences with the bereaved families of those killed after two Saudi-led strikes hit a wedding party in al-Wahga, a village near the Strait of Bab al-Mandab.
She stressed that the ongoing airstrikes against civilian areas and targets and preventing international organizations and institutes' access to targeted areas for aid deliveries are in violation of "human rights principles and norms."
The Iranian spokeswoman further urged the UN to take necessary steps to put an end to the Saudi attacks and protect the lives of civilians particularly women and children.
At least 131 civilians lost their lives and many more sustained injuries as Saudi fighter jets hit the wedding party in the Mokha port city, situated 346 kilometers (214 miles) south of the capital, Sana'a, on Monday.
Hospital officials also said 70 women are among the victims.
