UN demands probe after staffer dies in Houthi custody in Yemen
A UN staffer, Mohammad el-Shami, died in Houthi custody in Yemen after being held since June 2024 on espionage charges. The UN has demanded an investigation, but the Houthis have not commented. This marks a potential escalation in the Houthis' crackdown on international aid workers, raising risks for humanitarian operations in Houthi-controlled areas.
