Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is travelling out of the country. He is on holiday. But we were told that he has been briefed multiple times throughout the day on the situation in Yemen.
Here at the UN headquarters in New York, they are also spending many hours trying to gather details about what transpired.
We were told that shortly after the attack on the airport in Sanaa, the WHO’s Dr Tedros and his staff were evacuated out to safety, and they are safe at this hour.
The UN tells us that all of their staff are accounted for. But make no mistake about it, this was a very close call.
