Story highlights

He further added that the war has taken a huge toll on the civilians

United Nations refugee chief Filippo Grandi, on Wednesday, noted that the escalating violence in Yemen could lead to a refugee exodus. He further added that the war has taken a huge toll on the civilians and will not come to an end this way. 

A Saudi-led coalition launched the largest assault of the war.

"It’s actually surprising that an exodus has not happened yet," he told Reuters. "The message is to go back to the negotiating table as soon as possible."
