Tuesday’s five-day humanitarian ceasefire can’t come soon enough for the people of Aden. <br /><br /> Weeks of aerial bombardments by Saudi-led coalition forces and street battles between Houthi rebels and loyalists of exiled President Abd.Rabbu Mansour Hadi have left the Yemeni port city on the brink of collapse.<br /><br /> “No water, no electricity, the sewage is overflowing, our children’s bellies are swollen and we have no medicine, we have nothing,” cried one resident. <br /><br /> Air strikes are continuing throughout much of the country as the Saudi-led coalition tries to restore the government of President Mansour Hadi. <br /><br /> On Sunday in the capital Sana’a, the home of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh was destroyed.<br /><br /> It has also been reported that a Moroccan F-16 warplane, backing up the Saudi-led operation is missing.<br /><br /> The humanitarian crisis in #Yemen is deepening. Access to food & water increasingly difficult. Via UNICEFmena pic.twitter.com/CJqzSMi2Go— UNICEF (UNICEF) May 9, 2015
