Find out why the US and UK are targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen and the global reactions to the strikes.
In a significant move, the United States and the United Kingdom have initiated airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, citing retaliatory measures due to the group's attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The strikes, targeting various Houthi military sites, have sparked debates on the implications of intervening in the conflict. Amidst rising tensions, Australia has shown support for the airstrikes alongside other nations like Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands.
The Houthi rebels, an Iran-aligned group, have condemned the attacks as 'barbaric' and vowed to continue targeting ships heading towards Israel. President Joe Biden emphasized the need to protect international waterways, hinting at potential further measures against the Houthi militants. The airstrikes, involving both air and sea operations, have raised concerns about the escalation of violence in the region.
Meanwhile, Yemen faces a deepening humanitarian crisis with the escalation of military activities. The International Rescue Committee has voiced deep concerns about the impact of the conflict on humanitarian needs in the region. As oil prices surge and tensions rise, the conflict in Yemen has garnered international attention, with fears of a wider conflict looming.
The situation in Yemen remains volatile, with the US and UK conducting multiple strikes on Houthi targets. As the conflict escalates, there is a growing need for diplomatic efforts to mitigate the crisis and address the humanitarian consequences of the ongoing military interventions.
