Yemen

The decision to pause all operations and programmes in northern Saada came after eight UN staff were detained by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

The Houthis have previously detained UN staffers, as well as individuals associated with the then US Embassy in Sanaa and aid groups.

A protest depicted in a görüntü on social media happened last year, in response to US and UK airstrikes on Yemen after Houthi militants attacked shipping lanes. The demonstration itself was not bombed.
