00:09urging an end to any actions that risk returning Yemen to full-scale conflicts.
00:14Earlier on Monday, UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk warned that the country risks a return to
00:20full-scale conflicts. Yemen has been embroiled in more than a decade of civil conflicts.
00:25Last month, it was dragged into the Middle East war as the Iran-backed Houthis upended the
00:312022 truce with the Saudi-backed government ramping up attacks.
00:35We urge all parties to halt immediately any actions that risk returning Yemen to full-scale conflict.
00:42We call on all parties to de-escalate tensions and spare the Yemeni people from further misery.
00:47The people of Yemen have already suffered way too much from the devastating legacy of years of
00:53conflict, displacement and humanitarian crisis.
00:57At least 17 civilian casualties from Houthi attacks have been reported in government-controlled areas
01:04since 6 August. Four crew members and three port workers were among those reported to be killed
