SANAA: United Nation Security Council has called for a new humanitarian ceasefire and peace talks to end fighting in Yemen.

The UN Security Council by following the Ban Ki-moon plea for peace stated in a statement that it was deeply disappointed that the planned May 28 talks in Geneva had been put off.

Saudi-led coalition warplanes intensified raids on Yemen as Washington confirmed a top US diplomat had met representatives of houthi rebels to try to bring them in Geneva talks. More than 2000 people have been killed since March.
