Aid Groups Warn of Humanitarian Crisis in Yemen After US Sanctions –

Relief organizations warned of severe humanitarian consequences after the US reclassified Ansar Allah as a terrorist group. UN OCHA spokeswoman Eri Kaneko stressed that 90% of Yemen’s food is imported, and restrictions could have devastating effects if exemptions for essential goods are not granted.

Doctors Without Borders and Action Against Hunger cautioned that sanctions will worsen humanitarian aid efforts, with 70% of Yemen’s population already facing severe food insecurity in Ansar Allah-controlled areas.
