Key takeaway Further details are available from the UN Special Envoy for Yemen's statement, which calls for an end to hostilities and restraint from the parties involved.
A recent escalation is causing concern, with reports of civilians killed and injured, as well as families displaced. Civilian infrastructure has also been damaged, which is deeply troubling. This development is extremely alarming, particularly given that the conflict has already endured for over a decade.
The consequences of a return to large-scale fighting would be grave for civilians. It would also make a political settlement more difficult to achieve. A credible political path is needed to address the core issues of the conflict, including political, security, and economic concerns.
