Twelve international staff members of the United Nations who were detained by Yemen's Houthi rebels in Sanaa have been released and have left the city, according to the United Nations. The Houthis had raided the UN compound, detaining 20 staff members, including 15 foreigners, with some later released. The United Nations stated that three remaining staff are now free to move or travel, and some released personnel will relocate to Amman, Jordan. Despite these developments, the United Nations reports that 53 of its workers remain arbitrarily detained by the Houthis, who have accused them of espionage without providing evidence. The situation follows a pattern of harassment and detention of aid workers by the Houthis, which has intensified since the start of the Gaza conflict.
