The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross arrived on Saturday in Yemen's rebel-held capital, Sanaa, as security officials said a bomb inside a booby-trapped car at a key military base killed 15 anti-rebel fighters.
The visit by Peter Maurer, set to last until Monday, is intended "to highlight the dire humanitarian situation in the country," the Red Cross has said. It also comes after four Red Cross volunteers have been killed since the start of Yemen's civil war.
Yemenis are suffering from a shortage of food, water and medicine in the Arab world's poorest country.
The booby-trapped car explosion happened late on Friday at the Labouza military base, security officials and anti-rebel fighters said. They said it killed 15 of its forces and wounded more than 20.
Anti-rebel forces on Friday pushed Houthi rebel forces out of Labouza, the last military base in the country's south the rebels held.
A Saudi-led, American-supported coalition began launching airstrikes in March against the Houthis and their allies.
On Saturday, fighting erupted between local residents and Houthi forces in the Hazem Al Adeen area of Ibb province, killing at least six people, security officials and eyewitnesses said.
Fierce fighting also raged between Houthi and anti-Houthi fighters in Taez, Yemen's third-largest city, and the strategic southern city of Zanjibar, security officials said.
Medical officials in Taez said the violence there killed four civilians and wounded six.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren't authorised to speak to journalists.
