Renewed fighting in Yemen disrupts IRC operations and raises fears of wider conflict

Renewed fighting between Ansar Allah (Houthis) and Yemen's Internationally Recognized Government, including strikes in and around Al Mokha, has forced the International Rescue Committee (IRC) to temporarily suspend field operations in the west coast. This escalation threatens a fragile four-year truce and could deepen the humanitarian crisis, where over half of Yemen's population already needs assistance.
