Yemen at Highest Risk of Major Conflict Since 2022 Truce, UN Warns
U.N. officials say more than half of Yemen’s population faces acute food insecurity as fighting and Red Sea attacks raise the risk of renewed war.
- On Thursday, U.N. envoy Hans Grundberg warned that Yemen faces its greatest war risk since the 2022 truce, urging parties to de-escalate as military activity intensifies across frontlines.
- Efforts to turn the 2022 truce into a lasting political settlement have stalled as regional tensions intensified, fueling fears of a return to broader war.
- U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher told the Security Council that more than half the population faces acute food insecurity, with 6 million people at "Emergency" levels of deprivation.
- Both Grundberg and Fletcher called for the release of 73 U.N. personnel detained by the Houthis, while preparations to free 1,600 conflict-related detainees are moving slowly.
- Recent Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden risk drawing Yemen into wider regional confrontation, pressuring trade flows near the Strait of Hormuz.
