A few dozen kilometres away, hundreds of displaced civilians in makeshift camps waited for water, food and medicine from humanitarian groups - a further sign that despite United Nations peace efforts, the near six-year-old war grinds on. Fighting has raged for months in Marib, the last stronghold of the internationally recognised government.
Houthi forces have opened three frontlines in Marib region, advancing in recent months from the northern district of Madghal, the southern town of Rahabah and from the west in Sarwah. “Luckily, the fighting has slowed down over the last two weeks, thanks to the Houthi-Saudi indirect talks and because the battle has been exhausting for both sides.”The Saudi-led coalition and Houthi officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the status of fighting in Marib or the broader conflict.
“We know that any intensification of the conflict will put them at extreme risk and we're very worried that many of the people who live in Marib city will themselves become displaced by the conflict,” Lise Grande, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen, told Reuters.
