UN warns Yemen faces war risk and famine
Under the threat of escalating war in Yemen, UN envoy Hans Grundberg renewed his warning that the country is facing its worst crisis since the truce agreement in 2022. He pointed to increased levels of fighting along the front lines between the Houthis and the internationally recognized government supported by Saudi Arabia. He briefed the Security Council that Houthi attacks on regions such as Marib and Hadramout have resulted in civilian and military casualties, in addition to repeated targeting of commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, risking a broader regional confrontation. Grundberg called on all parties to immediately de-escalate and agree to a comprehensive ceasefire, stressing the importance of releasing hundreds of detainees and strengthening diplomatic efforts. Meanwhile, the economic and humanitarian situation has sharply deteriorated, with more than half the population suffering from severe food insecurity and six million people nearing the risk of famine.
