JAKARTA - The United Nations provided the latest developments on Wednesday, September 3 regarding the number of UN staff held hostage by the Houthis in Yemen to 19 people, including one international staff.
Quoting AP, the UN Spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, called for all his staff to be released immediately.
This detention took place during an operation to raid the Houthis at offices of the United Nations food, health and children in Sanaa, Yemen on Sunday, September 1.
A total of 19 UN staff were held hostage after Prime Minister (PM) Houthi, Ahmed Al-Rahawi, and several Cabinet ministers were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Thursday last week.
The Houthis have been involved in civil war since 2014, with the Yemeni Government recognized internationally and supported by the Saudis. This war broke out when the Houthis began to control Sanaa and mostly northern Yemen.
Hope for peace negotiations disappears after Israel launched a ground military offensive on Gaza in October 2023.
The Houthis participated in the war to support Palestinians in Gaza, by starting to attack ships in the Red Sea. The US, assisted by Israel, then retaliated against the Houthis by carrying out attacks on rebel-controlled areas in Yemen.
