UN aid flights into Yemen’s rebel-held capital Sanaa have been halted by air strikes carried out by the Saudi-led coalition which supports the government, an airport official said on Tuesday.
Because of coalition air strikes targeting the Houthi rebels, “the airport is no longer able to receive aircraft operated by the United Nations or international humanitarian organisations”, the official said.
