Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, conducted raids on the Sanaa offices of the World Food Program (WFP) and UNICEF on Sunday. During the operation, at least one UN employee was detained, and contact was lost with several other WFP and UNICEF staffers, raising concerns about further detentions. The raids targeted the UN agencies operating in the Houthi-controlled capital of Yemen.
