UN: Yemen on verge of complete collapse
‘UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein has warned that Yemen is on the brink of complete collapse amid Saudi-led airstrikes against the country.
“The country seems to be on the verge of total collapse,” the UN official said in a statement released on Tuesday.
He also expressed worries about the fatalities caused by the airstrikes, saying the situation in Yemen “is extremely alarming, with dozens of civilians killed over the past four days.”
The UN official added that he was shocked by a Monday airstrike on the al-Mazrak camp for displaced people in northwestern Yemen, which reportedly left some 45 people dead.’
