UN says 123 people killed in Yemen every week
The announcement came as Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels and the internationally recognised government, supported by a Saudi-led coalition, met a second day for UN-sponsored talks aimed at halting the bloodshed. UNHCR urged the two sides to do more to protect civilians, saying data from Yemen shows 123 people were killed and wounded every week in the three-month period, in a war that has killed 16,000 civilians.
Yesterday at the venue in a castle in the town of Rimbo, UN envoy Martin Griffiths were seen walking on the grounds.
