The UN Security Council on Thursday called on the Houthis to end their offensive on the oil-rich Yemeni province of Marib. The drive is threatening to unleash one of the worst displacement crises of the country’s civil war.

The province is home to a million internally displaced people who aid groups warn would have nowhere safe to turn if the fighting escalates.
