Airports have been closed and flights suspended across Yemen amid intensified Saudi Arabian military strikes against the impoverished country

Airports have been closed and flights suspended across Yemen amid intensified Saudi Arabian military strikes against the impoverished country.

The airport closures took place on Wednesday as Saudi fighter jets continued to hit the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, and other cities across the country.

Saleh al-Samad, the head of the Ansarullah movement’s Political Council, called the continued Saudi strikes and the resultant halt to air travel a flagrant violation of human rights and international law.

He said the aerial transfer of medical and food supplies to millions of people across Yemen had been halted as a result of the suspension of the flights.

Samad held the United Nations (UN) responsible for failing to act on the situation in Yemen and the continued Saudi war on the country.
