   Open letter urges Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan to avoid intervention in Yemen

   The Islamic Human Rights Commission published an open letter addressed to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Shehbaz Sharif, with Jeremy Corbyn and Richard Falk among its signatories. The letter calls for avoiding military intervention and warns of a worsening humanitarian crisis. Publication on the organisation’s website is confirmed; it does not establish the letter’s claims that the three countries may be preparing to intervene.

   Local reports describe wounded civilians in Taiz without independent medical confirmation

   Citing medical sources, Belqees reported that 4 civilians were wounded in shelling it attributed to the Houthis in the Old Airport area. Crater Sky quoted journalist Mohammed al-Faqih as saying that 4 wounded people from the same area and a woman from Mashraa wa Hadnan had reached al-Thawra Hospital. The accounts may overlap, so their figures are not added together; we found no original medical statement or independent verification of the timing and circumstances of the shelling.
