The United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths said that he plans to hold a new round of talks between the warring Yemeni parties to the conflict in Europe before the end of this year.
“The two places proposed in Europe are Geneva and Vienna are likely to be held at the end of next month,” he told Al-Arabiya.
The UN envoy has failed to hold the last round of talks, which was scheduled to be held in Geneva the beginning of September after the coalition refused to grant permission to a plane to take the Ansarallah delegation from Sana’a to Geneva.
The Legal Center for Rights and Developments in Yemen, in a statement released on October 15, announced that the ongoing Saudi-led military campaign against the impoverished and conflict-plagued Arab country has resulted in the death of 15,185 civilians, including 3,527 children and 2,277 women.
A total of 23,822 civilians, among them 3,526 children and 2,587 women, have also sustained injuries, and are currently suffering from the lack of medicine, medical supplies and poor treatment due to the crippling Saudi siege.
The center further noted that the Saudi military aggression has also caused the death of nearly 2,200 Yemenis from cholera.
It highlighted that aerial assaults being conducted by the Saudi-led alliance have resulted in the destruction of 15 airports and 14 ports, and damaged 2,559 roads and bridges in addition to 781 water storage facilities, 191 power stations and 426 telecommunications towers.
