克里会见也门总统哈迪

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry held what he described as "constructive" talks Thursday with Yemen\'s President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, as he visits Saudi Arabia for talks on a proposed

humanitarian pause in the Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen.

Mr. Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia in late March as Houthi fighters advanced from the capital, Sana\'a, to the southern coast in an offensive that prompted Saudi warplanes to bomb the rebels.

But aid groups have complained about difficulties in getting food and other needed items to civilians in Yemen.

Kerry said Wednesday that any pause in the air campaign must be carried out in a way that does not allow anyone to try to grab more territory or attack those who have temporarily put down their weapons.

"We have urged all sides, anybody involved, to comply with humanitarian law and to take every precaution to keep civilians out of the line of fire, out of harm\'s way as well as to provide the opportunity for humanitarian assistance to be able to be delivered," Kerry said.

He was also due to meet Thursday with new Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir and with King Salman.

三月末，胡塞武装从也门首都萨那向南部海岸地区发动攻势，哈迪逃到沙特，沙特战机对胡塞反政府武装进行空袭。但救援组织抱怨说，向也门境内的平民运送食品和其他必需品已经变得很困难。

克里星期三表示，在暂停空袭期间，任何一方都不得试图占领更多地区，也不能对那些暂时放下武器的人发动袭击。

克里说：“我们已经敦促所有各方遵守人道主义法规，采取一切预防措施，让平民百姓能够远离战火、不受到战事的伤害，并且提供机会，让人道救援得以运送到当地。”

星期四，克里将会晤沙特新任外长阿祖贝尔和萨勒曼国王。
