UN chief demands release of 11 staff arrested in Yemen

UN Chief Urges Release of 11 Detained Staff in Yemen by Houthis UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has demanded the immediate release of 11 UN personnel arrested by Houthi authorities in Yemen, with the Houthis having already detained 23 other UN workers since 2021. The arrest took place during raids on various UN agencies in the capital city of Sanaa and the port city of Hudaydah. The ongoing detentions hinder aid efforts crucial for the millions affected by Yemen's humanitarian crisis and the civil war that has left thousands dead and millions displaced.
