519 dead in 2 weeks of violence in Yemen: UN | 2 April 2015 | The United Nations (UN) says at least 519 people, including women and children, have so far lost their lives in two weeks of violence in Yemen, as Saudi Arabia continues to target the country with military strikes. In a statement on Thursday, UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos said that 1,700 people have also been wounded during clashes between rival groups in Yemen and in the Saudi strikes against the country. Noting that 90 children were among the victims of the violence, she expressed concern “for the safety of civilians caught in the middle.”
