DUBAI: Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have detained more than a dozen aid workers, including United Nations staff, in an apparently coordinated sweep, the Yemeni government and an NGO said Friday.

At least 18 Yemeni aid workers were kidnapped in four rebel-held parts of the war-torn country, the Yemeni Mayyun Organization for Human Rights said, listing 10 workers from UN agencies.

 

"The Houthi raids lasted from Thursday morning until approximately 4 a.m. on Friday. They invaded residences of Yemenis working for foreign organizations and even snatched others who used to work with such organizations," he told Arab News.

 

There was no immediate comment from the Houthis or the United Nations.

 

The Houthis have kidnapped, arbitrarily detained, and tortured hundreds of civilians, including UN and NGO workers, since the start of Yemen's conflict in 2014, according to rights groups.

Several aid workers have been killed or kidnapped throughout the conflict, forcing international agencies to temporarily suspend operations or pull out international staff as a security precaution.

This gaslighting doesn't really work when we can all read the public posts made by ATRL users.

The psychopaths laughing at this post - not recognising that Houthi, Hamas and hezbollah are not the aggressors but the defenders of their people.

Strange how the Houthis have had this blockade for a number of weeks now - blocking weapons delivery to Israel - and have managed to avoid any civilian causalities.

One Houthi has more honor and moral integrity than the entire ISISraeli "military."

States have a legal obligation to prevent genocide, which is exactly what Yemen was doing, but I'm sure a certain someone here knows that!

Or maybe they [Houthis] weren't trying to kill anyone because they're more moral than the genocidal terrorist you call your president

The world's two biggest terrorist states [the US and the UK]. Hope they get dismantled one day, for all the evil they have done in the world.

 

I stand with Yemen.

I'd love an explanation of how Houthis kidnapping international aid workers helps protect their people, but something tells me all I'll get in response are random ad hominem insults.

He can't. Too busy making up excuses for the senile terrorist ghoul.

Aid workers? Smh

Apparently dropping bombs killing 35K civilians doesn't make you a terrorist. The outrage is something.
