Boys hold up jerrycans to represent drinking water during a protest against a Saudi blockade of Yemen's ports, outside the United Nations' offices in Sanaa, Yemen October 19, 2015. U.N.-sponsored talks to end months of fighting in Yemen will convene in Geneva at the end of October, the U.N. special envoy for the issue has announced, urging the parties to try to make the negotiations a success. At least 5,400 people have been killed in the six-month civil war in the poorest country on the Arabian Peninsula, and the United Nations says the humanitarian situation, exacerbated by a Saudi blockade of Yemen's ports, is "critical".
