UN cutting back on Yemen activities after crackdown by Houthi rebels

Quick Summary:

The United Nations is cutting back its activities in Yemen in response to a crackdown by Houthi rebels on staff working for the UN and other humanitarian, human rights, development and education organisations, the top UN aid official said Thursday.

Acting UN humanitarian chief Joyce Msuya told the UN Security Council that the United Nations has taken steps to minimise the exposure of staff to risk in Houthi-controlled areas.

In June, the Houthis detained more than 60 people working with the UN and other organisations, according to the UN Human Rights Office.
