Report: U.S. Considering Suspending Humanitarian Aid To War-Torn Yemen

The video discusses the ongoing civil war in Yemen, highlighting the humanitarian crisis that has resulted in over 100,000 deaths and severe shortages of food and clean water. The conflict intensified in 2015 when Huthi rebels, backed by Iran, took control of the capital, prompting a military response from Saudi Arabia. The United Nations reports that 14 million people are in acute need. The US provided $746 million in aid last year, but Huthi demands for a 2% tax on aid shipments have raised concerns about funding rebel troops. The US may reduce aid due to these challenges, while Saudi Arabia continues its support, emphasizing the need to aid the Yemeni people.
