Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General
The Secretary-General condemns the continuing military escalation between Israel and the Houthis. On 24 September, the Houthis struck Eilat with a drone, reportedly resulting in 20 people injured, and, on 25 September, Israel conducted airstrikes on Sana'a, which reportedly killed at least nine people, including children, and injured over a hundred and fifty others.
He reminds all parties of their obligations to ensure that civilians are respected and protected at all times, in accordance with international law.
The Secretary-General remains deeply troubled about the risk of further escalation in the region and continues to urge all to exercise utmost restraint.
