Over the course of nearly seven years of war in Yemen, the country has become home to the world’s most dire humanitarian crisis. The conflict, compounded by natural disasters and health crises, has led to economic free fall and currency devaluation, a severe lack of food and fuel resources, and massive internal displacement. More than 80 percent of Yemen’s population requires humanitarian assistance, but humanitarian funding from the international community is not sufficient to provide aid to everyone who needs it.
The United States remains one of the largest donors to the humanitarian response. The new Biden administration has also indicated through early actions that resolving the conflict in Yemen and providing humanitarian relief are a top foreign policy priority. To brief us on the administration’s policies going forward, the Atlantic Council was delighted to welcome
The Houthis have confirmed that they have launched seven attacks with missiles and drones against Saudi Arabia.
Yahya Saree, a Houthi militias spokesman, confirmed in a statement that the escalation of violence is part of a Houthi military plan called “Operation Fifth Deterrence Balance.” He said that the attacks “continued from Saturday evening until Sunday by using a Zulfiqar ballistic missile and 15 drones.”
Saree added that nine Samad 3 jets targeted “sensitive sites” in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, while six Qasef-2k jets launched strikes on “military sites in the regions of Abha and Khamis Mushait.”
The Iranian newspaper Kayhan, which is a mouthpiece of the Iranian government, confirmed that the militias acted in accordance with the Iranian agenda to take advantage of the U.S. and EU’s desire to restart nuclear negotiations and were also involved with the attack on an Israeli-owned cargo ship off the Yemeni coast late last week.
Clashes between Yemeni government forces and Houthi rebels have intensified in the strategic province of Marib, with military sources saying a senior loyalist commander was among dozens of fighters killed.
Earlier this month, the Iran-backed Houthis resumed a push to capture Marib city, which lies close to some of Yemen’s richest oil fields in the north of the country.
Hundreds of fighters from both sides have been killed in fighting since Friday, according to government sources. The Houthis do not usually release casualty tolls.
“Twenty-two members of the government forces and more than 28 rebels have died in the last 24 hours in the fighting,” including special forces commander in Marib, General Abdel Ghani Shaalan, a military source told AFP news agency.
