Saudi-led airstrikes targeting Yemen's Shiite rebels resumed May 18 and fierce clashes were underway across the impoverished country after a five-day truce expired.
The cease-fire had been repeatedly violated, with both the rebels, known as Houthis, and Saudi-backed forces loyal to exiled Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi trading blame for the continued violence.
Yemen's health facilities reported 1,820 people killed and 7,330 wounded since March 19, a U.N. spokesman said. (AP)
