The President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Peter Maurer, has said he is appalled by the suffering he has witnessed in Yemen. On a three-day visit to the country, Mr Maurer has visited areas affected by the ongoing conflict in Sana’a and Aden. He has also held meetings with leading officials.
Speaking from Aden's Mansoura hospital, Mr Maurer said: “I see a lot of seriously wounded people. This is a very serious and catastrophic situation which unfolds here in Aden and much more needs to be done in order to support those victims who suffer each and every day from this conflict."

It is estimated that, since March, nearly 4,000 people have been killed and over 19,000 injured. 1.3 million have been forced to flee their homes.
Since January, the ICRC has helped supply water to more than two million people and provided food and other essentials for more than 100,000 people. It supports health facilities by donating
