Guterres on Thursday condemned the escalation of conflict between Yemen's Houthis and Israel
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday condemned the escalation of conflict between Yemen’s Houthis and Israel as Israeli airstrikes reportedly killed at least six people, injured dozens, and struck critical civilian infrastructure, including the Sanaa International Airport.
Israeli warplanes struck Houthi-used infrastructure at the Sanaa International Airport, the Hezyaz and Ras Kanatib power stations in Houthi-controlled areas, as well as the ports of Hodeidah, Salif, and Ras Kanatib on the western coast, the military said in a statement Thursday. In this regard, Stephanie Tremblay, associate spokeswoman for Guterres said, “The secretary-general condemns the escalation between Yemen and Israel. Israeli airstrikes today on Sanaa International Airport, the Red Sea ports and power stations in Yemen are especially alarming.”
According to the spokeswoman, Guterres is deeply concerned about the risk of escalating conflict in the region and calls on all parties involved to immediately halt all military actions and exercise utmost restraint. “The secretary-general emphasizes that international law, including humanitarian law as applicable, must be respected at all times; and he appeals to all to respect and protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. Humanitarian relief personnel also must not be targeted and must be respected and protected at all times.
