الحوثيون يختطفون موظفين أمميين في صنعاء

Elements of the Houthi group kidnapped UN employees today (Saturday) after storming a United Nations office in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a.
Informed sources announced that the Houthis detained several employees of the UN envoy's office for Yemen and confiscated their phones.
A source at the United Nations confirmed the increasing frequency of Houthi incursions into its premises over the past two days.
It was reported that the Houthi escalation followed a speech by the group's leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, last Thursday, in which he claimed the existence of "dangerous espionage cells" composed of individuals affiliated with organizations working in the humanitarian field.
He alleged that he possessed information about the "espionage role" of a cell affiliated with the World Food Programme that assisted in Israel's targeting of the internationally unrecognized group in August in Sana'a.
The escalation of the Houthi rhetoric against UN agencies and organizations has raised fears and concerns among Yemenis and relief organizations about the worsening humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
Millions of Yemenis are facing a hunger crisis, rising food prices, and severe inflation after more than 10 years of the coup that created one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world, amid international and local warnings of a famine that could strike the country in 2026.
The United Nations previously and categorically rejected the accusations made by the Houthi group against its employees in Yemen, emphasizing that these allegations are "extremely concerning" and "endanger the lives of humanitarian workers."
Relief workers and officials in Yemen warned of the repercussions of the Houthi accusations and fabrications against UN organizations on the future of humanitarian work in Yemen.
