Local Editor

The United Nations is continuing to receive signals that the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen could attack the key port of Hodeida, causing humanitarian suffering and loss of life, U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein said on Monday.

A Saudi-led military coalition backing the former regime in its war against the Houthi revolutionaries has been preparing an assault on Hodeida.

"The U.N. is concerned about the humanitarian repercussions of such an attack in terms of inflaming the humanitarian crisis even further, let alone our concerns about loss of civilian life were there to be a large-scale attack on port," Zeid told a news conference in Geneva.
