The United Nations has told Sky News that Yemen is heading "into the abyss" - and is urging the international community to end the war before it is too late.

UNICEF - the United Nations Children's Fund - says as many as 400,000 children are at risk of dying from severe malnutrition and nearly 2.5 million need medical treatment because they are not getting enough to eat.

Yemen has been broken by nearly four years of war and is dangerously close to total collapse.

Government forces backed by a Saudi-led coalition are battling Houthi rebels who have taken control of several provinces, including the capital Sanaa.
