The United Nations has confirmed that humanitarian flights to Sanaa, the capital city controlled by the Houthi movement in Yemen, will restart after being suspended for a month. The suspension was due to restrictions imposed by the Iran-aligned group, which had blocked vital aid deliveries.
The resumption of these flights is expected to facilitate the delivery of essential supplies to millions of people in need amid ongoing conflict and humanitarian challenges in the region.
**Why this matters**
Yemen is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with millions relying on international aid for food, medical care, and other basic needs. The pause in aid flights significantly worsened conditions in Houthi-held areas, making the resumption critical for alleviating suffering and preventing further deterioration of the humanitarian situation.
