In a press statement, the UN Office in Yemen said, “Yesterday,thede facto (Houthi movement)authorities in Sana’a detainedadditional UN personnel working in areas under their control. To ensure thesecurity and safety of all its staff, the United Nations has suspended allofficial movements into and within areas under thede factoauthorities'control. This measure will remain in place until further notice.”
Reports allege that the Houthi group has previously detainednumerous UN employees and staff from international organizations in areas underits control. The group is also alleged to have arrested Yemeni employees offoreign embassies and aid organizations, accusing them of charges such asespionage for the US and Israel.
Notably, the UN decision coincides with US President Donald Trump’sreclassification of Ansarallah as a terrorist organization.
In response, the group argued that Trump’s decision underminesregional stability and peace efforts. Similarly, Yemen’s Ministry of ForeignAffairs in Sana’a urged international organizations to condemn the US decision,calling it "punishment for their support of the Palestinian cause,” referencingthe Houthi attacks on Israel and its allies “in support” of Gaza, where Israelihostilities claimed over 47,000 lives, mostly women and children.
