The Red Cross said it flew an aircraft into Sanaa today, delivering its first medical aid to Yemen's capital since a Saudi-led coalition launched air strikes against Shiite rebels.

"This is the first ICRC plane to have landed in Sanaa. It is loaded with sixteen tonnes of medical aid," said Marie-Claire Feghali, spokeswoman in Yemen for the International Committee of the Red Cross.
