CAIRO (AP) 鈥� The United Nations says it has suspended its humanitarian operations in the stronghold of Yemen鈥檚 Houthi rebels after they detained eight more U.N. staffers.
In a statement Monday, the U.N. said the 鈥渆xtraordinary鈥� decision to pause all operations and programs in northern Saada province was due to lack of 鈥渢he necessary security conditions and guarantees.鈥�
