Since Monday evening, several attacks have impacted #Yemen, including strikes on the Hodeidah seaport and yesterday’s strikes on Sana’a airport—both vital gateways for humanitarian aid and basic essentials such as food and medical supplies.

The deaths of our colleagues demand more than empty words of outrage: they demand action. The international community cannot keep looking away as the rules of war are ignored, and humanitarian workers deliberately targeted while trying to save lives. 📃 Full statement by ICRC
