UNICEF’s Dr. Gamila Hibatullah in Aden said that, “Hospitals are overflowing, and even ambulances have been hijacked.”
UNICEF’s representative for Yemen, Julien Harneis quoted that,“Children are in desperate need of protection, and all parties to the conflict should do all in their power to keep children safe”.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was “deeply concerned” with the conflicts and the deaths.
