Yemen's national airline halts Sanaa-Jordan flights

Yemen's national airline, Yemenia, will suspend its only international commercial flight from Sanaa to Jordan in response to the Houthi administration blocking the carrier from withdrawing its funds in Sanaa banks. The airline had proposed a compromise where 70% of the funds would go to the Houthi administration and the remaining 30% to the internationally recognized government, but the offer was rejected. Yemenia called on the Houthi authorities to lift the restrictions on its assets, but negotiations failed, leading to the decision to suspend flights.

Deadly Stampede at Ramadan Charity Event in Yemen's Capital.

At least 78 people were killed and dozens more were injured in a stampede in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, during an event to distribute financial aid. The Houthi Interior Ministry said dozens of people were taken to nearby hospitals. The tragedy struck the Arabian Peninsula's poorest country days ahead of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The Houthis said they would pay some $2,000 in compensation to each family who lost a relative. Yemen's civil war has killed over 150,000 people and created one of the world's most severe humanitarian disasters.

Deadly Stampede at Ramadan Charity Event in Yemen's Capital

At least 78 people have died and many others injured in a crush at a school in Sanaa, Yemen, during a charity distribution for Ramadan. The Houthi rebels, who have controlled the city since 2015, were responsible for the distribution and have detained those responsible. The incident occurred due to the "random distribution" of funds without coordination with local officials, according to the interior ministry. The event happened during the final days of Ramadan, and the head of the Houthi supreme evolutionary committee blamed the country's humanitarian crisis for the tragedy.
