The Secretary-General of the United Nations condemns the continuing military escalation between Israel and the Houthis.
Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General issued a statement stating that the UNSG remains deeply troubled about the risk of further escalation in the region and continues to urge all to exercise utmost restraint, and reminds all parties of their obligations to ensure that civilians are respected and protected at all times, in accordance with international law.
On 24 September, the Houthis struck Eilat with a drone, reportedly resulting in 20 people injured, and, on 25 September, Israel conducted airstrikes on Sana’a, which reportedly killed at least nine people, including children, and injured over a hundred and fifty others.
