UN Security Council Debates Escalating Attacks Threatening Peace in Yemen

The UN Security Council held an open debate on Yemen, where escalating deadly military clashes are worsening an already fragile humanitarian situation. Tensions from the US-Iran war are rippling across the Middle East, and recent Houthi missile strikes on Saudi Arabia and commercial vessels threaten the 2022 truce between the Yemeni militia and the government. UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher briefed the Council on the latest developments.
