U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched Yemen peace talks in Geneva on June 15 with a call for a humanitarian truce after warplanes from a Saudi-led Arab coalition pounded the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa overnight.

More than 2,600 people have been killed since the coalition began military operations in March to stop the Iranian-backed Houthi militia moving on Aden.

Ban said the truce should last for at least two weeks to allow life-saving supplies into the country. (AP)
