Some 80 percent of Yemenis are in need of aid. As the talks continue, Robert Mardini of the International Committee of the Red Cross called for a new humanitarian truce.

Robert Mardini: “So it’s been 80 days of chaos, death, destruction in Yemen. And ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, there is really little hope for the people of Yemen. Fighting is escalating everywhere in the country and is taking a heavy toll. Figures are very eloquent. Dozens are being killed every day. And at the end of the day or the week, whether a humanitarian pause is negotiated or not — and we really hope that this might be an outcome of this week — we have one main message here: The humanitarian work must go on, with or without humanitarian pause.”
