ADEN (Reuters) - Arab coalition aircraft bombarded Houthi fighters dug in at the airport of Yemen's main port Hodeidah on Monday as a senior alliance official said he hoped U.N. diplomacy could coax the Iran-aligned movement to cede the city to "save the population".
U.N. officials fear a prolonged battle for Hodeidah, where the Houthis are dug in to protect supply lines from the Red Sea to their bastion in the capital Sanaa, will aggravate what is already the world's most urgent humanitarian crisis.
