Reports say 16 people were killed in a nursing home in Al Mukalla, Yemen. It was said that the establishment started in the 1970s by Mother Teresa. Christians from Aden City south of Yemen are in charge of its operations.

Killings have been growing in numbers for the past few months in Aden City. Authorities have spoken that civilians killed were Indian, Ethiopian and Yemeni citizens. Fifteen corpses were brought to Doctors Without Borders or MSF.

ISIS and al-Qaida affiliates have exploited the lawlessness and created safe havens in the south. Several cities were under the control of this rebellious group.

Saudi Arabia's U.N. ambassador Abdallah Al-Mouallimi said that he is concerned about the worsening humanitarian situation.

European Parliament came up with the confiscation of weapons exports to Saudi Arabia. This will at least help in one way.

The war in Yemen has resulted in a lot of casualties. It has killed at least 6,200 civilians and injured tens of thousands of Yemenis, and 2.4 million people have been displaced, according to United Nations figures.

Until now, there are still reports coming in from security councils saying they believe that a political solution is still possible.
