U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday he will discuss a proposed humanitarian pause in Yemen during his talks in Saudi Arabia. A Saudi-led international coalition has been fighting Houthi rebels seeking to oust the Yemeni government. The Houthis have taken control of parts of Yemen. Hundreds of civilians have died in the conflict.

Secretary Kerry also announced $68 million in new U.S. aid to Yemen. The State Department says the aid will support agencies providing food, water, shelter and other assistance to 16 million people.
