UN staffers detained in Yemen
Three more UN staffers have been detained in Yemen, bringing the total number of UN personnel held by the Houthi rebels to six, the United Nations said on Friday.
The staffers were detained on Thursday in the capital, Sanaa, where they were working for the UN Development Program (UNDP).
The UN has called for the immediate release of the staffers and said that their detention is a “clear violation of international law.”
Education hit by climate crisis
The climate crisis is having a devastating impact on education around the world, according to a new report from the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
The report found that climate-related disasters have disrupted education for more than 40 million children in the past year.
The report also found that climate change is making it more difficult for children to get to school, as well as increasing the risk of violence and exploitation.
Nigeria aid plan
The Nigerian government has launched a new aid plan to help people affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.
The plan, which is worth $1 billion, will provide food, water, shelter, and other essential services to people in the northeast of the country.
The insurgency has displaced more than 2 million people and caused a severe humanitarian crisis.
The aid plan is a welcome step, but it is important to ensure that the aid reaches the people who need it most.
