The US says it is speeding up weapons deliveries to a Saudi-led coalition bombing Houthi rebels who have taken up arms against the government in Yemen.
Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the US is also boosting intelligence sharing with the coalition.
Aid agencies have warned of a looming humanitarian crisis in the Yemeni port of Aden, which has seen street battles between rebels and government allies.
Some 550 people are said to have died in the last fortnight of fighting.
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 2,000 people have been injured over the same period.
