A United Nations staff member has been detained in Yemen, raising the total number of detained employees to six in recent days, according to a spokesperson for the world body. The detentions followed raids by Houthi security forces on several United Nations offices in Sanaa, where equipment and assets were also seized. The United Nations reports that at least 59 of its personnel are currently being held by the Houthis, with some detained for years. The organization has condemned the ongoing detentions and emphasized that ensuring the safety and release of its staff remains a top priority.
