Escalation in Yemen: Trump attacks Huthi rebels with air strikes!

Sanaa, Jemen - The situation in Yemen escalates dramatically after US President Donald Trump classified the Huthi rebels as a terrorist organization and ordered increased air strikes on their positions. These measures followed the latest attacks by the Huthis, which attacked the goals in the Gulf of Aden and in the Red Sea. During these military operations, over 30 people were killed near the capital of Sanaa and around 100, which has been the largest US military mission in the Middle East since Trump's office, as Deutschlandfunk . Bishop Paolo Martinelli warned of devastating humanitarian consequences and a possible "open conflict" in the region. "Weapons seem more than diplomacy," he said worried about the situation.

humanitarian crisis intensifies

The already tense humanitarian situation in Yemen has further tightened. According to the UN, over 400,000 people have died since the beginning of the civil war. The conflict is classified as one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world, with millions of people suffering from hunger and diseases such as cholera. Martinelli emphasized that children in particular suffer and are forced to work under precarious conditions to support their families. Despite this challenge, there is a glimmer of hope: the ceasefire between the Yemeni government troops and the Huthi rebels continues, and the appointment of Archbishop Christophe Zakhia el-Kassis as an apostolic nuncio is seen as a positive signal. Despite the dangers, the Catholic Church, especially the sisters of Mother Teresa, provide important humanitarian aid in the country, so Kathpress .
