Houthi rebels have detained at least 11 UN employees in Yemen, as part of a campaign of arrests following the killing of Prime Minister Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rawhi.

The death of the Houthi prime minister has provoked the anger of the rebel leader, who has threatened to intensify attacks against Israel. The UN and the World Food Program have condemned the arbitrary detentions, emphasizing that the safety of humanitarian personnel is essential. The Houthis have detained employees from various humanitarian organizations, suspecting them of collaborating with Israel.
