Yemen has been under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition since March 26.
Thousands have been killed and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.
Riyadh launched the offensive on Yemen in a bid to allegedly restore power to fugitive president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi who is a close ally to Saudi Arabia.
