UN envoy to Yemen says country may ‘collapse’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleZeid Ra’ad al Hussein, the UN’s Human Rights commissioner, warns that Yemen is facing “total collapse” in light of the fighting between Houthi rebels and Arab coalition forces.
The UN says at least 93 civilians were killed in Yemen since Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other Arab Gulf countries invaded the country in order to fight Shiite Houthi rebels who enjoy Iranian support.
Al Hussein says the situation in Yemen is “very worrying” and adds it is “inconceivable” that there are so many civilians among the dead.
