Yemeni people rejected a proposal by Saudi Arabia to treat those injured in the recent terrorist attacks in Sana'a due to Riyadh's support for the overthrown government in Yemen, a medical official said.
"Saudi Arabia voiced readiness to receive the injured people but the Yemenis didn’t accept it since Saudi Arabia plays a dual-track policy in Yemen," Head of the Yemeni medical team Abdolwahhab Sa'd told reporters on Monday.
Given the lack of necessary medical equipment in Yemen and the critical conditions of a number of injured people, 40 of them were sent to Oman and 52 of the wounded were dispatched to Iran, he added.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) transferred over 50 Yemeni nationals severely wounded in the recent terrorist attacks in the country to the hospitals in Iran on Monday.
"After coordination, a team of (Iranian) surgeons were sent to Yemen, and given the status quo there, 52 wounded Yemenis were transferred to Tehran," Soleiman Heidari, the caretaker of the medical team sent to Yemen along with tons of aids, told reporters on Monday.
He said that the Iranian medical team, consisting of 6 people, returned to Iran with the wounded Yemenis.
The cargo plane of the IRCS was the second plane carrying Tehran's aids to Yemen in March.
The 13-ton package of Iranian humanitarian aids was intended to help those recently been targeted by terrorist attacks in Yemen.
On its departure from Yemen, the Iranian aircraft transferred a number of wounded Yemenis to Tehran to receive medical treatment at the Iranian hospitals.
Over 150 people were reported as killed and hundreds of others wounded in Sana'a, after attacks on two mosques in the center of the capital during last Friday prayers.
The ISIL Takfiri terrorists claimed responsibility for the recent massacre of innocent people in Yemen.
On Saturday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian announced Iran's readiness to treat those Yemeni people who were severely wounded in the Friday terrorist attacks in Sana'a.
Amir Abdollahian strongly condemned the terrorist attacks in Sana'a, and said Iran was ready for medical treatment of those sustained injuries in the heinous terrorist attacks.
He underlined that a group of professional surgeons along with groups of aid volunteers are ready to be dispatched to Sana'a.
As soon as the Yemeni government accepts Iran's offer, the team will be dispatched to Sana, Amir Abdollahian said, adding that Iran was also ready to admit the injured people to hospitals for medical treatment.
Earlier, the Iranian foreign ministry deplored the terrorist attacks in Sana'a which claimed the lives of a large number of Yemeni people.
In a statement on Friday, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham condemned the terrorist attacks in the Yemeni capital, and expressed the hope that people in Yemen would maintain peace and stability in their country by keeping vigilant.
Afkham further extended her condolences to the families of victims, and sympathized with the survivors of the terrorist attack.
She stressed that enemies of the Yemeni nation are trying to gain their evil target of making the country insecure and instable by carrying out such blind terrorism.
