The Yemeni national army and resistance, backed the Saudi-led Arab coalition jets, maintained on Monday their field advances against the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen.

The fighting has been focused on southern regions of the province.

A military source said the armed forces launched on Monday morning a wide-scale attack on several fronts in Marib, succeeding in liberating several positions, including the strategic Fliha mountain.

Dozens of Houthis were killed and injured in the battles, it added.

Meanwhile, Arab coalition jets struck Houthi reinforcements and vehicles, leaving massive losses in their ranks.

Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said the army and the Giants Brigades were advancing on Marib and the al-Yatma front in al-Jawf, amid unprecedented collapses and losses in Houthi ranks.

More than 17,000 kids have reportedly been killed and 33,000 wounded in the ongoing war in Gaza, UNICEF’s executive director Catherine Russell told the UN Security Council on Wednesday.

She said each of the territory's one million children have faced immense suffering.

An average of 28 kids die daily in Gaza, “a whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” she said.

Malnutrition has surged, with nearly 6,000 children acutely malnourished in June, a 180% increase since February, she said. UNICEF warns these children will face lifelong impacts.

Food supplies are running out and civilians are being shot while seeking something to eat, UN Undersecretary-General Tom Fletcher told the council.

"Civilians are exposed to death and injury, forcible displacement, stripped of dignity,” Fletcher he, emphasizing Israel’s obligation under the Geneva Conventions to provide food and medical aid as the occupying power in Gaza.

He also challenged the council to consider whether Israel’s rules of engagement incorporate all the precautions to avoid and minimize civilian casualties.
