The World Food Programme has reported that one of its employees was detained by local authorities in Yemen's capital Sanaa, with additional staff members possibly apprehended elsewhere. Security sources indicated that seven World Food Programme staff and three United Nations Children's Fund workers were arrested following raids on their offices. The agency condemned the arbitrary detention of humanitarian workers, emphasizing the importance of staff safety for delivering aid. These arrests come amid heightened tensions in Yemen, where recent events have led to a crackdown by authorities, including the detention of dozens suspected of collaborating with Israel. The United Nations has previously called for the release of detained aid workers, as Yemen continues to face a severe humanitarian crisis exacerbated by ongoing conflict.
