150 killed in battle for Yemen's Hodeida as global alarm grows

Government loyalists supported by a Saudi-led coalition are fighting to oust the Iran-backed Huthi rebels from the strategic Red Sea city, whose docks are a lifeline to 14 million Yemenis at risk of starvation.

There is no alarm right here.
I don't care how many are killed in Yemen.

Britain seems alarmed, let them send their young men to deal with it.
