The latest round of United States airstrikes in Yemen have killed dozens of people in a port in the country's northwest, according to Houthi rebels. The strikes are part of an escalating campaign by the Trump administration against the Iran-backed militia.

The strikes have yet to deter the Houthis from carrying out further attacks, and experts warn that attacking ports could worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
