AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEscalation: The Saudi-led coalition says it struck Houthi military and maritime support assets. Houthi authorities report strikes on Ras Isa port and a Hodeidah oil facility wounded seven, and claim 75 attacks hit eight provinces in 24 hours; that figure could not be independently verified. Saudi air defenses intercepted a missile aimed at the kingdom’s south, while emergency alerts in four areas were later lifted. Humanitarian crisis: More than 300,000 people have fled fighting in western Yemen, mostly in the past two months. The IOM says families urgently need shelter, food, clean water and health care, and warns aid could run short without $45 million in funding. UN detention: UN human rights staff member Mohammad el Shami died in Houthi custody after being detained since June 2024. UN chief António Guterres and rights chief Volker Türk called for an independent investigation and the release of about 70 UN personnel and others still detained. Regional stakes: Egypt’s parliament authorized military support for Saudi Arabia against Houthi threats, drawing opposition from parties concerned about the mission’s aims, costs and risk of casualties.
