Fighting in the southern city has intensified as rebels and forces loyal to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi battle for control.
The rebel advance comes despite 11 days of airstrikes by a Saudi -led coalition of mainly Gulf forces.
Red Cross to deliver aid
Meanwhile a spokesperson for the military coalition said the International Red Cross is to be allowed in to deliver aid into the country.
The agency has been negotiating for nearly a week to deliver life-saving supplies.
