(AP Photo/Hani Mohammed, File)The United States announced a resumption of aid to Yemen’s rebel-held north on Friday to fight a looming famine as the country’s nearly six-year-old war grinds on. U.N. officials warned that a blockade of fuel deliveries to a main port was heightening the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. AdThe war began when the Houthi rebels seized the capital, Sanaa, and much of the north in 2014. AdThe Biden administration as of Friday will “cautiously resume” support to humanitarian groups working in Yemen’s north, said Sarah Charles, a senior official for humanitarian assistance at the U.S. AID. Beasley, the World Food Program chief, said the fuel shortages threatened to undermine what remains of Yemen's private sector and swell the numbers of Yemenis needing aid.

Corruption allegations in Yemen aid operations were also a factor. “The shortfall in humanitarian aid will be measured in lives lost,” he said. Other major pledges came from Germany ($241 million), the United Arab Emirates ($230 million), the United Kingdom ($123.23 million) and the European Union ( $116.2 million). Wealthy countries, such as the U.S., Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, cut back drastically on aid to Yemen last year. Several speakers at the conference called for the Houthis to stop their offensive on the central province of Marib and their increasing cross-border attacks on Saudi Arabia.

The stark warning comes a day before a pledging conference co-hosted by Sweden and Switzerland. The U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will appeal for $3.85 billion in relief aid for Yemen this year. Wealthy Gulf donors such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which contributed generously to U.N. appeals in 2018 and 2019, cut back drastically on aid to Yemen last year amid the pandemic and corruption in Yemen aid efforts. The rebels have been implicated in stealing aid and using aid access to extort concessions and money.

On Friday, Feb. 12, 2021, the United Nations is sounding the alarm over projections that more than 2 million Yemeni children are facing starvation this year. Compounding the crisis, around 1.2 million pregnant or breastfeeding women in Yemen are also projected to be acutely malnourished this year. Ad“The crisis in Yemen is a toxic mix of conflict, economic collapse and a severe shortage of funding," Beasley explained. UNICEF estimates that virtually all of Yemen’s 12 million children require some sort of assistance. “Malnourished children are more vulnerable to diseases ...

The reversal of policy also comes as a rebuke to Saudi Arabia. Saudi state media focused on that part of Biden's announcements Thursday. The Houthis have launched multiple drone and missile strikes deep into Saudi Arabia. The weeks-old Biden administration has made clear that shifting its stance toward the Yemen war, and toward Saudi Arabia over the Yemen offensive and other rights abuses, was a priority. A career foreign service member, he has served in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries in the Middle East and elsewhere.

(AP Photo/Hani Mohammed)WASHINGTON – The Biden administration on Monday suspended some of the terrorism sanctions that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo imposed on Yemen’s Houthi rebels in his waning days in office. The Treasury Department said it would exempt certain transactions involving the Houthis from sanctions resulting from Pompeo's designation of the group as a “foreign terrorist organization” on Jan. 10. The sanctions Pompeo imposed had taken effect Jan. 19, just a day before President Joe Biden was inaugurated, and had been roundly criticized by the United Nations and relief organizations. Six years of war between a U.S.-backed Arab coalition and the Houthi rebels have been catastrophic for Yemen, killing more than 112,000 people and reducing infrastructure from roads and hospitals to water and electricity networks to ruins. Saudi Arabia has advocated the terror designation, hoping it would pressure the rebels to reach a peace deal.

Most of its 30 million people rely on international aid to survive. Aid agencies said Monday they were struggling to figure out the implications of the designation, which would bring sanctions against the Houthis. Those include special U.S Treasury licenses to allow U.S. aid to continue flowing and aid agencies to continue working. Still, aid groups said the impact could be disastrous. That will cripple aid agencies and NGOs, which must use the banks to move funds, pay salaries and keep operations running.

Officials later reported another explosion close to a palace in the city where the Cabinet members were transferred following the airport attack.

Rival armed groups divert food aid to front-line combatants or sell it for profit on the black market. Last year, WFP partially suspended its operations in the rebel-held capital over accusations that the Houthis were stealing the food aid. Just this week, gunmen fired on a WFP boat convoy carrying food aid to flood-stricken communities. During truces, the World Food Program occasionally managed to take limited amounts of food into besieged towns, where dozens have died of malnutrition and hunger-related illnesses.

A U.N. humanitarian appeal for Yemen this month fell $1 billion short of what aid agencies needed. The World Food Program had to cut rations in half and U.N.-funded health services were reduced in nearly 200 hospitals nationwide. The Hayel Saeed Anam Foundation, a Yemeni-owned conglomerate, helped create the International Initiative on COVID-19 in Yemen. Its an unusual effort to bring crisis-stricken Yemen back from the brink of further disaster, as the virus overwhelms Yemen's hospitals.

CAIRO The United Nations warned Wednesday that its programs to fight the coronavirus in war-torn Yemen might have to stop by the end the month unless they get an immediate injection of cash. This will severely handicap efforts to contain the outbreak, which is already spreading rapidly, said Hayat Abu Saleh, a spokesperson for the U.N. At least 31 major U.N. programs in Yemen, covering essentially every sector, from food to health care and nutrition, were at a serious risk of significant reduction or closure, she said. Abu Saleh predicted the U.N. would likely start winding down some of its disease outbreak and control programs next month, including efforts to contain cholera, malaria and dengue fever, among other diseases. The World Health Organization believes that there is significant underestimation of the outbreak, which could further hinder efforts to get supplies into Yemen needed to contain the virus.
