3,825 Families Displaced in Northern Yemen's Fighting: UN

Local Editor

At least 3,825 families have been displaced over the past two weeks by the ongoing fighting between the Yemeni army and forces loyal to Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi in the country's northern provinces.

The displaced families are mostly in Sana’a, Marib and al-Jawf, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a statement on Tuesday.

Fighting broke out in mid-January in Sanaa's Nehm district, Marib's Sirwah and al-Jawf's al-Maton following a missile attack on a military training camp in Marib that killed more than 100 Hadi loyalists.

UN envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths called on all Yemeni parties "to cease all military activities," warning that such escalation could fail the already-fragile peace process.

Yemen has been mired in a war since late 2014. A Saudi-led coalition launched a military aggression against the country in a bid to forcefully reinstate the resigned regime of Hadi.
