humanitarian disaster, a serious situation in places like sanaa and aden. >> it is. this is one of the poorest thaitionspoorestnations on earth, more than 5 million rely on handouts from international aid agencies. add to this the violence you see in the country the air strikes targeting houthi and force he loyal to ali abdullah saleh. people with no access to clean water, fuel and electricity shortages, dorks in hospitals doctors in hospitals saying they have no supplies and would like to see supplies arriving as soon as possible. a situation that is going to be further exacerbated because you don't see any way out of the crisis as we speak. the saudi led coalition stills insists that it's launching an

air strike against houthis who are undermining the peace process, putting forth their own demands which are basically they will only put an end to the air strikes if the houthis pull out of the major cities. >> u.n. also asks for a pause to allow aid to go in but that's looking highly unlikely at the moment isn't it? >> absolutely. because in the press conference today, the general the head of the saudi led coalition said that welcomes any aid agencies to operate in yemen but therefore the need to cooperate with the saudi army, and there is a process that everyone has to respect to move forward. and for the time being the saudi-led coalition insisting that it hasn't yet finished its task which is basically

undermining military capabilities of the houthis and forces loyal to the deposed president ali abdullah saleh have been concerned that the houthis are asking for reinforcement to move towards the city of aden. so for time being we listen to all messages and statements by saudi officers, it's we still need some time to continue the air strikes dependence houthis. >> hashem in doha with the latest. thank you. kenyan military jets have target ed al shabaab territory in somalia following last week's massacre of the garrissa university. destroyed two camps in geda region. al shabaab said it fell on farmland. unless kenya withdraws its troops from somalia.

part of their ongoing military offensive there. he said that they were bombing two al shabaab hideouts that were in two towns that are not populated, civilian populations have already fled and it was just al shabaab there. the kenyan military has come under criticism for not doing enough to prevent this attack. going on now to try to find the masterminds of the garrissa university attack, when they do bear any fruit when they do kill or arrest any of those masterminds, i suspect they will be quick to show the world they are doing something to fight back. >> malcolm with the latest in nairobi, thank you. inside the garrissa university compound itself, there is of course evidence everywhere of the horrific attack on thursday. al shabaab said it carried out the attack. 148 people were killed.
