Sanaa, Yemen: UN aid flights into Yemen's rebel-held capital Sanaa have been halted by air strikes carried out by the Saudi-led coalition which supports the government, an airport official said Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila). Due to coalition air strikes targeting the Huthi rebels, 'the airport is no longer able to receive aircraft operated by the United Nations or international humanitarian organizations,' the official said. Flights into Sanaa airport have been largely halted by a Saudi-led blockade since August 2016, but there have been exemptions for aid flights that are a key lifeline for the population. The airport official, who asked not to be identified, called on the United Nations to secure a halt to the raids so that the airport could resume operations.
