Yemen's Iran-backed rebels say they're temporarily allowing U.N. humanitarian flights to land at the airport in the capital of Sanaa. The development follows a week-long halt in flights after the Houthi rebels closed the airport, saying it was unsafe.
At the time, the U.N. food program said the Houthis claimed the airport had become “unserviceable due to technical issue.”
The U.N. envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, denounced the latest uptick in fighting in Yemen, particularly the continued Houthi offensive on the government-held city of Marib. Over the past years, the war has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. More than half of the Yemen’s population of 16.2 million people faces acute hunger, with 2.3 million children at risk of malnutrition, according to the U.N. food agency.
