The Iran-backed Houthi rebel group raided the offices of the United Nation’s food and children’s agencies in Yemen’s capital on Sunday, detaining at least one employee, officials said.
Members of the terror group’s security force stormed the offices of the World Food Program and UNICEF in Sanaa, with the UN losing contact with several of their staffers and stoking fears that many more have been detained.
“WFP reiterates that the arbitrary detention of humanitarian staff is unacceptable,” Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the World Food Program, told the Associated Press.
