The UN said that the ‘extraordinary and temporary move’ has been taken to ensure the safety and safety of its personnel.
The UN spokesman said that the UN has temporarily stopped all operations in the Yemeni Sada area after being detained by Hathi officials.
UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq said Monday, “This extraordinary and temporary move tries to maintain the balance and security of UN personnel and its partners with the need for security and security. “
The truth said, “Such guarantees are eventually needed to ensure the effectiveness and stability of our efforts.”
Seven UN agencies work in Saada – Houthi Garh in north of Yemen – which includes the World Food Program, the World Health Organization and the Children’s Agency UNICEF.
Haq said that he could not say how many people in Yemen would be influenced by UN activities, but he said that the World Organization was “fully committed to helping millions of people needed” across the country.
He said, “It is a matter of fact that in order to arrange for the release of UN personnel, Deal Facto officials and the United Nations have to give time and to ensure that significant support for humanitarian sympathy is. There are necessary conditions to do. “
The Houthis, which did not immediately recognize the UN decision, have detained dozens of UN staff since 2021, and at least 24 people were detained before the group’s latest arrests.
So far, the UN staff has not been released, and the group has paraded them on television channels where they have been presented as Western intelligence agencies and Israeli allies.
Earlier, on January 24, the United Nations suspended all travel in areas near the Houthis when an unlawful number of staff was detained by the rebel group.
It is unclear why the UN staff was present at Saada at the time of his arrest. Since occupying power in 2014 and early 2015, Iranian -backed Houthis have controlled most of the Yemeni, including the capital Sanaa. The group is in a war with a Saudi -led coalition of Yemen’s deportation.
More than a decade war has killed 1.5 million people in Yemen. According to the UN, the country is also experiencing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, which requires more than 18 million people in need.
Hathi’s targeting of the United Nations came when the armed group is eliminating international shipping in the Pacific and the Gulf of Aden, along with its campaign against targets in Israel.
The group launched its campaign in solidarity with the Gaza people in November 2023, saying it would end its attacks after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
In January, the United States President Donald Trump restored the Houthi position as a “terrorist” organization, which he established during his first term, before US President Joe Biden canceled it. –
