Coalition to allow aid flights to Sanaa airport

The Saudi-led coalition said it would allow UN flights and those of other agencies into Sanaa’s international airport from Monday.
The airport in Sanaa was closed since Tuesday, when coalition jets resumed air strikes around the capital following the breakdown of UN-brokered peace talks between the Yemeni government and Houthi terrorists.
The coalition said it received 12 flight requests from the UN and other groups, but warned that it needed to receive advanced notice of flight plans to Sanaa “in order to guarantee the security of airport staff.”
In another development, coalition members will conduct an independent probe into allegations made by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) that air strikes hit a school in Yemen.
A team from the coalition “has seen UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s call for an investigation” into MSF’s claim and is initiating a probe, said the group known as the Joint Incidents Assessment Team.
“This investigation will be independent and follow international standards. The JIAT will make the results of its investigation public,” it said.
Coalition spokesman Maj Gen. Ahmed Al-Assiri has said the strikes hit a Houthi training camp and killed terrorists.
In continuing Houthi violence, rockets fired from Yemen hit a water plant in Najran at noontime Sunday, injuring six expatriate workers.
