UN says remaining international staffers leave chaotic Yemen
The United Nations says the last of its international staffers have now left Yemen as the UN human rights chief warns of a "total collapse" in the Arab world's poorest country.
The deputy spokesman for the UN secretary-general, Farhan Haq, says the remaining 13 international staffers are out as of Tuesday and that the UN will do what it can with the hundreds of local staffers who are still there. The UN human rights office in Geneva says at least 93 civilians have been killed and 364 wounded in five Yemeni cities in the past five days as Saudi-led airstrikes pound advancing Shiite rebels. The overall figures are likely much higher. UN officials are calling on all sides to protect civilians from harm in the fighting.
