Fighting in Yemen over the past few weeks has killed more than 540 people and wounded 1,700 as the country sinks deeper into a multi-sided conflict, the World Health Organisation said Tuesday.
"More than 540 people have been killed and some 1,700 others wounded by the violence in Yemen since 19 March," a WHO spokesman said. A UNICEF spokesman said at least 74 children have been killed and 44 wounded since March 26.
