The Houthi group in Yemen has detained seven additional UN aid workers in the capital Sanaa, taking them from their homes, according to local reports. Four workers were reportedly arrested yesterday and three the previous day. The move comes just days after 12 UN international staff members were released and flown out of Sanaa following mediation by Iran and Oman. Despite the recent releases, UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg stated that 53 UN personnel remain arbitrarily detained, along with other aid workers and diplomatic staff. The latest arrests followed a televised speech by Houthi leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi, who accused UN workers of espionage and links to Israeli airstrikes. The Houthis seized Sanaa in 2014, sparking a prolonged civil war that has left millions of Yemenis reliant on humanitarian assistance.
