This picture taken on February 3, 2020 shows a view of a United Nations Bombardier CRJ-200LR aircraft at Sanaa International Airport outside the Yemeni capital, that is meant to transport Yemeni child patients for a medical evacuation bound for the Jordanian capital amman. - Yemeni children in critical need of medical care were evacuated on February 3 from the rebel-held capital Sanaa, in what the United Nations hopes will be the first of many "mercy flights". Seven young patients and their relatives flew out of Sanaa airport, which a Saudi-led coalition supporting the embattled Yemeni government has kept closed to commercial flights since 2016. The UN-marked plane later landed in the Jordanian capital Amman, where passengers were placed in buses which immediately ferried them to hospitals, an AFP photographer said.
