seven years ago coming up next is inside story. it's the biggest battle of the three year paul sally and the last of your planes pound area south yemen is main focal day that as troops close in the rebels remain defiant the un is urging restraint fearing the humanitarian catastrophe that is there any hope of a diplomatic solution this is inside story. and

welcome to the program on the news of a problem the push to say is the portal for that as well and truly on the way the coalition is intensifying its offensive and pro-government yemeni troops edging closer to the city a stronghold of what the rebels they have been casualties on both sides and heavy fighting and how they the itself the population is bracing for the worst nor burden manly has more. yemen's port city of hadera was bustling with people buying food on thursday bought this is also a city bracing for a heavy bombardment and the. people here really live in these unemployment you know data there are no jobs a person you know looks to use daily living there would be a big crisis if the fire truck moved into the city and with poverty and hunger and the war the residents would be victims people are dying from hunger the country

would be destroyed. the coalition has captured a town south of the data as fierce fighting and. as strikes pound the area the u.n. security council has held two closed door meetings this week both concluding that the only solution to the crisis is a political and not a military one the u.a.e. ambassador says there are ships on standby to supply her data once the military operation and even our ships just see waiting so we have a fright we have a very we're very well organized and we are ready to do. every assistance for. the council will meet for further discussions on monday but many analysts agree that a basket of her data would not draw yemen's three year war closer to an end. supposing that there will be a successful sort of military takeover there are many questions remain what will

happen to other parts of the country you know what will happen to who will run her data what will happen to you know the deep divides among among yemenis i think that you know it's important to recognize that who sees as as a political actor as they were back in two thousand and thirteen fourteen. as the saudi led coalition forces a military victory over the strategic port the formerly exiled president of a drop of months a hardy has arrived in the southern city of aden for the first time since february two thousand and seventeen to oversee the operations but the u.n. wants the attack on how data could kill up to a quarter of a million people and shut down the main routes for food and humanitarian aid to the rest of the country this would have a devastating impact on survival of a population already teetering on the brink of famine. unmanly al-jazeera.

well what it allies on yemen's red sea coast seventy percent of the country's food supplies enter through the port which has been under the control of healthy rebels since two thousand and fifteen the coalition believes its assault on the port is necessary if it's to have an opportunity of retaking the capital sama the risk is it will exacerbate what the u.n. already considers the world's worst humanitarian crisis. please granda is the united nations humanitarian coordinator for yemen and she's joining us on skype from the capital thank you very much for your time misconduct how concerning is this offensive given who day there is importance to the country ninety percent of all of the basic commodities that people in europe are doing that and come through the single or gate or if there's any cut up that that or even for

a long period of time the impact will be immediately and will be very serious this is one of the reasons that we are so concerned about the military assault on the city we're so deeply concerned because the six hundred thousand innocent civilians inside if we do it right now last year in the world's largest color one of the epicenters was for data and many of the people who are suffering the most in the country are in that city this is another reason that we are so concerned about the humanitarian impact of the assault was one day the saudis are saying that they're planning on retaking the airport the seaport and the routes from the whole day there to the capital sanaa but that they have no plans to engage in urban warfare but are you as certain that this fighting is not going to reach the city of six hundred thousand people. if fighting were to be in the center of the city i think we would have to face the fact that impact would be very serious it could in fact

be catastrophic who data is very densely populated and if there is a ground conflict then we know that civilians will have very great risk we would probably have to assume that there could be a large number of casualties it's the it's important point for all of the parties to the conflict you know in under international humanitarian law of course of the conflict or watch to do absolutely everything possible to ensure that civilians survive they are the one that's responsible for ensuring that people live but unfortunately none of the parties in this conflict seem to be doing that we have the and the russians who are saying that they carrying out this operation because the arab coalition could actually better manage the port and the flow of aid what do you make of that you know how have the who things done as managing the port and have there been any issues with the flow of aid during their control the

port of who did the if line for a game in any cut off of that port as we said earlier is going to have dramatic impact for the past several years as the war has waged the united nations and all of the humanitarian purposes called on the whole of the parties to the conflict to that port open nothing is more important than that right now seventy percent of all of the humanitarian assistance that the united nations frontline partners bring it into the country comes through who did this five are saying it's got to stay open would you rather the whole thing stayed and control of the port if it meant that there was no fighting. from a humanitarian point of view what matters is that the port is open it doesn't matter who manages the pork it matter is the port is open and then humanitarians are able to bring in the assistance humanitarians are neutral in the context of the war what matters is that parties to the conflict do everything that they are obliged to do to protect civilians and assure that billions have the assistance

that they need that's what counts and misconduct you've spoken about the impact that any damage to the port could have on civilians and yemen tell us more about the impact you know what does it really mean what does it look like three quarters of all of the people who live in the game and aren't penned up on some form of humanitarian assistance and protection in order to survive there is no other country in the world right now for a larger percentage of the population is dependent on eight out of the twenty two million yemenis who need help eighteen million are food insecure they rely on food that comes in through ports like data and also to ports like aid this is why we are so concerned about the military assault on today that if something happens to that point if we're not able to bring in food either humanitarian supplies or commercial in ports we know that literally millions of people even will be in

a very desperate situation and this is why the u.n. met about this i think they had a meeting for about two hours but did they actually take any action to ensure the safety of civilians and who they the and to ensure that aid and food supplies keep plowing. so the united nations security council yesterday had a closed door session to discuss exactly this issue the security council called on all of the parties to the conflict to do everything possible to ensure that they protect civilians and they make sure that civilians have access to food and medicines that water all the things they need in order to survive you know humanitarian law is a collective responsibility all of the member states the united nations all the countries world are responsible for upholding it so when the security council calls on the parties of the conflict to do what they are obliged to do what they are undermining is the collective responsibility to ensure that innocents billion

survive but again given that the more and potty he's not listening to these calls and have not so fall for the better part of the three year war is that enough. you know a number of steps have been taken during the war to protect civilians we have for example that de confliction mechanism in place includes a nose for list of more than twenty thousand locations sir hospital and schools and very important public infrastructure that civilians depend on and or to just buy all the parties have agreed not to strike these particular locations we also have agreements in place but all of the parties to the conflict when we live recruit for example we say to all of the parties we're delivering this food don't strike these areas the second isms have been in place for the last several years they are largely successful we have also asked the parties to the conflict in the case of david to do the same thing to honor these de confliction requests this is an important medical system and it's one of the ways that humanitarian partners are

working but the parties to the conflict in the midst of the fighting to ensure that civilians survive thought misconduct thank you very much for your time on this that is the un's humanitarian coordinator for yemen lisa ground a joining us live from santa thank you. well we're now joined from gothenburg also via skype often asa freelance journalist and yemeni blogger and from sun up the journalist with an advocate here very warm welcome to both of you mr mckay they let me start with you the whole things have withstood three yes' all of this of attacks on the saudi led coalition but can they withstand this offensive. i believe they will do all it takes to protect the data or it doesn't mean that if they have been defeated or withdrawn from other areas like in aden that they will give up this second largest city in yemen so easy

. well i mean what i really really strange that the all the blame is actually on the whole the they heard i believe the humanitarian coordinator from sanaa she said what matters now is that the port stays open this means that the port actually does . is kind of all been on it brink some humanitarian aid to yemen some n.g.o.s say eighty percent of the aid comes through the port so the hoti existant or present in her day the port does a lot of stock any. of the flow of the humanitarian aid into yemen on the side that should be actually asked and called to stop its offensive is this idea that coalition has actually now is trying to invade the port miss nasr the emma rashi's a saying that the operation is a critical step towards achieving a political solution to the conflict but doesn't bring this conflict any closer to

a political solution do you think doesn't change the calculus of the overall war.
