Yemen at highest risk of major conflict since 2022 truce: UN

By GhanaSummary NewsroomSouth Africa

Yemen has been mired in conflict since the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention the following year.

Yemen faces its most serious threat of a return to large-scale war since a UN-brokered truce in 2022, UN envoy Hans Grundberg warned on Thursday, as the world body said more than half the country’s population was experiencing acute food insecurity.

The warning follows an escalation in hostilities between Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group and its internationally-recognised, Saudi-backed government that has raised fears of a broader return to war and a fuelling of wider regional tensions.
