A Statement by the Spokesperson of the European Union stated that the EU echoes the statement issued by the UN Secretary General, and strongly condemns the latest round of arbitrary detentions by the Houthis of United Nations’ personnel working in Yemen.
The Spokesperson statement added the EU joins the calls for immediate and unconditional release of all the staff from the UN, NGOs and diplomatic missions detained by the Houthis, concluding that “These detentions are endangering the provision of urgently needed humanitarian and development assistance to the Yemeni people.”
