More UN staffers detained in Yemen
Two more United Nations staff members have been detained in Yemen, bringing the total number of UN personnel held in the country to four. The two staff members, a man and a woman, were detained on Wednesday by Houthi rebels in the capital, Sanaa. The Houthis have not yet commented on the detentions, but they have previously accused the United Nations of bias against them.
The detentions have been condemned by the United Nations, which has called for the immediate release of all its staff members. The United Nations has also suspended some of its operations in Yemen in response to the detentions.
Education hit by climate crisis
The climate crisis is having a devastating impact on education around the world. A new report from UNESCO has found that climate-related disasters have disrupted education for over 500 million children in the past year. The report also found that climate change is making it more difficult for children to learn, as they are being forced to adapt to new and changing environmental conditions.
UNESCO is calling on governments to take action to address the climate crisis and its impact on education. The organization is also calling for more investment in education to help children adapt to climate change and build resilience.
Nigeria aid plan
The Nigerian government has launched a new aid plan to help people affected by the conflict in the country’s north-east. The plan, which will cost $1 billion, will provide food, water, shelter, and healthcare to people who have been displaced by the fighting.
The conflict in north-eastern Nigeria has displaced over 2 million people and left over 7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. The new aid plan is a welcome step towards meeting the needs of those affected by the conflict.
