As if anybody any more - since the US invaded Iraq - gives two figs about war crimes or international humanitarian law.The United Nations called on Monday for a humanitarian pause in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Tuesday to allow civilians to leave their homes, aid workers to reach them, and the wounded to get medical care.
Jamie McGoldrick, U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Yemen, said in a statement that the streets of Sanaa had become “battlegrounds” and that aid workers “remain in lockdown”.

McGoldrick warned the warring parties that any deliberate attacks against civilians, and against civilian and medical infrastructure, are “clear violations of international humanitarian law and may constitute war crimes”.
