Aden - The United Nations has announced a reduction in logistical and security expenditures in areas of Yemen under Houthi control. 

This decision comes amid escalating challenges, including restrictions imposed by Houthi authorities and heightened security concerns affecting humanitarian operations.

The UN's adjustment focuses on prioritizing essential life-saving activities while scaling back broader development initiatives. 

This move follows incidents of detentions and raids targeting UN personnel and offices, which have disrupted critical humanitarian efforts. 

The organization has emphasized the need for unimpeded access and the protection of civilians and aid workers.

Despite these challenges, the UN continues to appeal for international support to address Yemen's worsening humanitarian crisis. With millions of Yemenis in urgent need of assistance, the organization remains committed to delivering aid under increasingly difficult circumstances. 

This development underscores the complexities of operating in conflict zones and the importance of safeguarding humanitarian missions.
