Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen’s main airport as a civilian Airbus 320 with hundreds of passengers on board was landing and a U.N. delegation was waiting to leave, the U.N.’s top humanitarian official in Yemen said on Friday (December 27, 2024).
Julien Harneis told U.N. reporters that the most frightening thing about the two airstrikes on Thursday (December 26, 2024) wasn’t their effect on him and about 15 others in the VIP lounge at the international airport in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.
