Parents were pictured cradling their severely malnourished children at the Al-Sabaeen Hospital in Sanaa as the Yemeni government's war against the rebels rages on. UK-based independent research group Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project said the death toll in Yemen was around 60,000 in December. The statement said both sides 'made important progress on planning for the redeployment of forces as envisaged in the Hodeida agreement'.
