Yemen has been embroiled in conflict for nine years, leading to a dire humanitarian crisis where 18 million people require aid. The Houthis, a group involved in the Yemeni conflict, have recently intensified their military actions in the Red Sea, claiming to support the Palestinian cause. This shift in focus has drawn international attention back to Yemen, highlighting the ongoing struggles faced by its citizens amidst human rights violations and economic instability. Despite the Houthis' actions, there remains a lack of progress towards a peace deal, leaving the future of Yemen uncertain. The situation raises questions about the Houthis' priorities and their ability to address the pressing needs of Yemenis while engaging in regional conflicts. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, the international community is urged to consider the implications of the Houthis' actions on both Yemen and the broader Middle East.
