U.N. Chief Urges End to Air, Ground Assaults in Yemen

U.N. Chief Urges End to Air, Ground Assaults in Yemen
Mon Dec 4, 2017 11:29:04

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday urged warring parties in Yemen to stop all ground and air assaults and called for a resumption of all commercial imports into the country because "millions of children, women and men risk mass hunger, disease and death."

A Saudi-led coalition launched air strikes on Yemen's capital, Sanaa, local media said, lending support to former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh after he signaled he was abandoning his support of Houthi forces - a shift that could pave the way to end three years of war.
