139 killed, injured in Yemen's Hodeidah since October: UN

The UN said Saturday that at least 139 civilians have been killed or injured since October in western Yemen.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said 74 civilians were killed or wounded in October and 49 in November in Hodeidah province.

And six workers were killed and 10 injured in an attack Dec. 3 on a trade complex in Hodeidah

No other information was disclosed about the number killed and injured, said the report.

The conflict in Hodeidah has increased in recent months and conflicting parties in Yemen should stop attacks against civilians that violate international humanitarian law, according to the OCHA.

Yemen has been beset by violence and chaos since 2014, when Houthi rebels overran much of the country, including the capital Sanaa.
