United Nations withdraws staff from Yemen, fearing military assault

The United Nations and the Red Cross have withdrawn their staff from Al Hudaydah, fearing an imminent attack from the Arab coalition.

Approximately 80% of foreign humanitarian aid entering Yemen comes through the port city, with over 75% of the Yemeni population is dependent on food aid.

US Representative Ted Lieu says another attack on the city would plunge Yemen into further humanitarian crisis.
