(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) The International Committee of the Red Cross called for an immediate military pause in Yemen for humanitarian means.
"All air, land and sea routes must be opened without delay for at least 24 hours to enable aid to reach people cut off after more than a week of intense air strikes and fierce ground fighting nationwide," the ICRC said in a statement on Sunday.
The ICRC said that it have made tremendous efforts and contacted repeatedly with all parties during the last week, adding "our relief supplies and surgical personnel must be allowed to enter the country and safely reach the worst-affected places to provide help".
The Red Cross also noted that the streets of Aden were "strewn with dead bodies" and wounded civilians were "streaming" into hospitals and clinics throughout the city.
