The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has urgently called for international intervention to halt the detention of UN staff and humanitarian workers by the Houthis in Yemen. In a recent statement, the organization highlighted the increasing risks faced by these individuals, who are often targeted while carrying out their vital work.

The Euro-Med Monitor emphasized the need for immediate action to ensure the safety and release of detained personnel. The organization also called on the international community to hold accountable those responsible for these detentions and to provide greater protection for humanitarian workers.

This plea comes at a critical time as the number of detained UN staff and humanitarian workers continues to rise, posing significant challenges to the delivery of essential aid and services in conflict-affected areas.
