Yemen has little capacity to test those suspected of having the virus and a 5-year-long civil war has left the health system in shambles.

A hospital in a rural area of northwest Yemen was hit by an airstrike Tuesday killing seven people and wounding eight others, Save the Children said.

Saudi Arabia said that not only does it not use child soldiers, it is actively working to rehabilitate Yemeni child soldiers recruited by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

The first negotiations in over two years were convened amid pressure from Western nations, some of which supply arms and intelligence to Saudi Arabia and other members of the coalition.

A Yemeni man who lost four children in an air strike that hit his home in Hodeidah, pleads for the war to end as another of his children lays in intensive care.

The coalition's warplanes bombed the entrance of Hodeidah port two hours before sunset, killing three guards, a witness and Houthi media said.

 U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Tuesday for a cessation of hostilities in Yemen and said U.N.-led negotiations to end the civil war should begin next month.

The strike, which hit in the Jebel Ras area, also wounded 20 people, said a spokesman for the rebel-run Health Ministry.

The deals, uncovered by an Associated Press investigation, have allowed al-Qaeda militants to survive to fight another day.

The resumption of the Saudi-led air strike campaign on Hodeidah could create ideal conditions for a catastrophic new cholera outbreak in Yemen, Save the Children has warned.
