Yemen's Shia Houthi rebels have made more gains in the city of Aden, despite air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition.

Countries including China have stepped up efforts to evacuate their citizens amid the worsening humanitarian crisis.
The Red Cross has been given permission by the coalition to bring aid into Yemen by plane.
