"Both parties to the conflict have long believed that a military solution is possible, which has had catastrophic consequences for the population.For the first time, this seems to be a window in which both parties can be encouraged to to sit down at the negotiating table, end the violence and find a political solution, which will be the only long-term way out of the disaster, "Hunt said.
The minister adds that the United Kingdom "will use all its influence to promote such a solution". He also said that there was "a small but real chance that a suspension of the fighting could help alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people".

UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for a strike in the violence to remove Yemen from the "edge" on Friday and advance talks that could end the war.
Yemen has become a hell for children. Many thousands of people die each year from malnutrition and easily preventable diseases, a UN official said Sunday. According to UNICEF, in Yemen, 1.8 million children under the age of five suffer from acute malnutrition and die 400,000 severely affected children.
