article: Saudi air strikes have been targeting Houthi rebels for almost two weeks. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was given permission by a Saudi-led coalition to land planes carrying staff and medical supplies. The passenger plane landed safely on Monday but the supply flight has been unable to depart. ICRC spokeswoman Sitara Jabeen says they had been unable to find a cargo plane to take their 48 tonnes of medical supplies into the country. "Less and less airlines are either allowed, or able, or willing, to fly to Yemen," she said. Ms Jabeen added that the country's security situation made finding a solution "extremely difficult" but that they were working to sort out the logistics. Yemen: who is fighting whom? The Houthis: Zaidi Shia-led rebels from the north, who seized control of Sanaa last year and have since been expanding their control President Hadi: Fled to Saudi Arabia after rebel forces advanced on his stronghold in the southern city of Aden Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula: Seen by the US as the most dangerous offshoot of al-Qaeda, AQAP opposes both the Houthis and President Hadi.

At least 53 people died in 24 hours of clashes between rebels and pro-government fighters, AFP reports. Food, water and electricity shortages have also mounted, with residents pleading for help to feed their families. Student Nisman Usman said: "We have lived three days of horrors - gunshots everywhere." Arab views of the fight for Aden range from pro-Saudi optimism to fears of other players being dragged in. Saudi and Gulf media report that the "shell-shocked" Houthis are seeking ceasefire talks in the face of the Saudi aerial bombardment. Bahrain's Akhbar al-Khalij daily and the Emirates' Al-Bayan accuse the Houthis of "indiscriminate shelling" of Aden residential areas. But Arab papers elsewhere are less sanguine.

Pan-Arab TV channels report the fighting could draw in other players from Pakistan to Iraqi Shia militias.
