Yemen: Over 500 Dead in Fighting, 10 Million in Need of Food 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Yemen, Houthi rebels have reportedly retreated from the former palace
of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi in his former stronghold of Aden.
The rebels seized the palace Thursday but retreated after Saudi-led
airstrikes. The fierce fighting in Aden comes as the British Red Cross
warns of a "catastrophic" humanitarian situation in Yemen, with more
than 10 million people in need of food. According to the United Nations,
the violence has killed more than 500 people in the past two weeks, 90
of them children.
