Yemen's Huthi rebels detain aid workers, including 11 UN staff

The United Nations calls for the immediate release of 11 of its personnel detained by Huthi rebels in different parts of war-torn Yemen in an apparently coordinated sweep.

UN spokesperson said Huthi de facto authorities have detained 11 United Nations national personnel working in Yemen. He added that all available channels are being pursued to secure the safe and unconditional release of all of the detained personnel as rapidly as possible.
