Yemen Conflict Deepens Amid Middle East War, Hundreds Killed in Renewed Fighting

Yemen's Houthi rebels reported dozens of Saudi airstrikes on Wednesday, with hundreds of people killed in renewed fighting near the Red Sea. This intensification of the previously dormant conflict is occurring against the backdrop of the wider Middle East war, leading to a deepening humanitarian crisis with nearly 20,000 people displaced and concerns over the impact on the Bab al-Mandab strait, a critical global shipping route.
