This conflict began when Sanaa was stormed by Rebels known as Houthis, and stood against the government forcing it into exile. Since then the north is controlled by Houthis forcing Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi to quit his rule in the south. This results in a military coalition by Saudi to restore its power bombing on Houthis.
Jamie McGoldrick, U.N Humanitarian Co-Ordinator in Yemen, said, “ The humanitarian community in the country is shocked and outraged by the horrific airstrikes. The international community must exert pressure and influence on all parties to the conflict to ensure civilians are protected. This violence against Yemen’s civilians must stop immediately. ”
Houthis Spokesperson, Mohammed Abdul- Salam said “ The silence of the United Nations and the international community is the munitions of the murderers. Those murderers will not escape divine justice.”
