The Yemen front has drawn closer attention in Washington as the US-Israel war on Iran continues. Axios reported that senior Trump administration officials met at Camp David on Friday to discuss both the Iran conflict and the Houthi-Saudi fighting in Yemen, CBS News confirmed, citing sources familiar with the talks.
The World Food Programme warned Friday that three-quarters of Yemen's population was unable to meet basic food needs, France 24 reported, as the renewed fighting worsens an already severe humanitarian crisis.
