U.N. officials say Iran-backed Houthi rebels have intensified their crackdown against the United Nations in Yemen, detaining two additional workers. The two female World Food Program workers were taken from their homes in Sanaa on Saturday, and their whereabouts remain unknown. One of the women was in critical condition after a premature birth. The detentions are part of a series of actions that are forcing the U.N. to reassess operations in the region. The Houthis have detained over 55 U.N. staff members and raided several offices, leading to the suspension of the world body's operations in parts of Yemen.
