(MENAFN)Saudi-led fighter jets stroke the positions of Houthi extremists, who are now fighting against forces loyal to a former president to take control of the city, and civilians are now forced to hide in the basements to escape the explosions.
The bombardment forced aid workers to stay inside their homes and was "completely paralyzing humanitarian operations," said Suze van Meegen, Sanaa-based protection and advocacy adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council.
"No one is safe in Sana'a at the moment. I can hear heavy shelling outside now and know it is too imprecise and too pervasive to guarantee that any of us are safe." she added.
