Yemen: Recent progress marred by Gaza war fallout, UN envoy reports

The shockwaves from the war in Gaza continue to reverberate across the wider Middle East region, with the situation in Yemen much more complex than it was a few months ago, the UN Special Envoy for the country said on Wednesday.

Briefing the Security Council, Hans Grundberg recalled 'steady progress' in UN efforts to mediate the the complex decade-long crisis, set off by the overthrow of the Government by Houthi rebels in 2014.
