International powers fuelling this crisis must do anything possible in order to ensure that children and their families are protected, says Save the Children.

Under international humanitarian law, the wilful killing of protected persons constitutes a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions and therefore constitutes a war crime, says the UN High Commissioner.

Attacks on civilian infrastructure were apparent war crimes and may amount to crimes against humanity, Human Rights Watch says in a new report.

The continued supply of weapons to parties to the conflict is only perpetuating the conflict and prolonging the suffering of the Yemeni people, says Chairperson Kamel Jendoubi.
