The three-year-long conflict between the Saudi-led coalition backed by the US and the Iranian-aligned Houthis has devastated Yemen and killed at least 10,000 people.
In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Martin Griffiths, United Nations envoy to Yemen, admitted that the killing of Khashoggi on October 2 called for peace in Yemen.
He added that the most pressing factor justifying the decision of US foreign policy in Yemen was the threat of famine.
"The threat of famine is a very real threat and is likely to double the number of people in Yemen who are at risk of starvation or famine, which is the urgent factor here," he said.
Griffiths warned that the alternative to peace would be "devastating", leading to a rise in famine, terrorism and greater regional instability and affecting the trade routes borrowed to access Europe.
