--------------------------------------------------------


 
In Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition has resumed airstrikes targeting
Houthi rebels in the capital Sana'a after announcing it was shifting
toward political negotiations. The strikes came amid fierce fighting in
the southern city of Taiz between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to
ousted Yemeni President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi. At least 20 civilians
were reportedly killed. On Friday, The United Nations said over 550
civilians have died in the violence over the past month,including 115
children.
