Two Royal Air Force Oman flights between Muscat and the Yemeni capital Sana'a have airlifted injured Yemeni civilians to safety.
Flights from Muscat to Sana'a returned wounded Yemenis who had been successfully treated in the Sultanate, and later brought civilians injured in the ongoing conflict, according to the government news agency.
A statement on Oman's state news agency read: "In continuation of the humanitarian efforts of the Sultanate to deal with the situation in the Republic of Yemen, two flights of the Royal Air Force of Oman from Muscat to Sana'a were carried out during which they returned a group of Yemeni stranded and wounded who completed their treatment in the Sultanate, and transferred a new group of wounded Yemenis."
Saudi Arabia has come under international opprobrium for the sheer size of the casualties from the war it is leading since March 2015 to crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring back the former Yemeni government to power.
The offensive has so far killed 13,000 amid countless reports suggesting deliberate and indiscriminate targeting of civilian infrastructure by Saudi jets and mercenaries.
