The United Nations said Friday that harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure is increasing across Yemen, with people hurt in places considered safe only a couple of months ago.
Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, said attacks have involved drones, missiles, airstrikes and shelling. Homes, hospitals and markets have been affected, and children are among those killed and injured, he said.
Haq described the pattern as worrying and warned it should not become accepted as normal in Yemen’s war. He said international-law obligations apply to all parties under all circumstances.
