The Red Cross called for urgent de-escalation in the Middle East, warning that further fighting would be disastrous for tens of millions of civilians, Reuters reports.
Yemen’s civil war — in which a Saudi-led military coalition supports the government against the Houthis — reignited in July, months into the wider regional conflict that has roiled energy markets and plunged the Middle East into crisis.
“Civilians are paying an unacceptable price as a result of military operations in the Middle East,” said Mirjana Spoljaric, the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
