Iranian-backed Houthi rebels raided a United Nations facility in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Saturday, but all staff members present were reported safe and have contacted their families. The incident is part of a broader crackdown by the Houthis on United Nations and other international organizations operating in rebel-held areas, which has included previous raids and detentions of aid workers and staff. The United Nations has responded by suspending operations in some regions and relocating key personnel for safety. Yemen's ongoing civil war, which began in 2014 when the Houthis seized Sanaa, continues to impact humanitarian efforts and the security situation in the country.
