The Arab country is staging clashes between Houthi rebels and forces from other Gulf countries attempting to put the local government back in power. O&rsquo;Brien made the plea to UN Security Council members two days prior to the release of the 2016 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan in Geneva, Switzerland. <\/p>\n<p>O&rsquo;Brien said the conflict has left over 35,000 casualties, including 6,000 deaths. &ldquo;Now it is more important than ever to address the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Yemen,&rdquo; he said addressing the Security Council, according to UN Radio. <\/p>\n<p>He also called on members to press upon the fighters to &ldquo;facilitate unconditional and sustained access to all parts of Yemen.&rdquo; The UN was only able to get to some areas of the country on two occasions so far this year. <\/p>\n<p>According to estimates mentioned by O&rsquo;Brien, 9 million people need are in need of food, and 7.4 million have no access to water or sanitation. Urgent health support is needed for 10.6 million malnourished people. <\/p>\n<p>O&rsquo;Brien said Security Council member countries must work with the international community so rebels and the attacking coalition will engage in peace talks and reach a ceasefire agreement. <\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-184069\">Manuel Elias\/UN<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The money is needed to address the needs of as many as 10.6 million malnourished people and 7.4 million with no access to freshwater due to ongoing clashes.
