UNITED NATIONS, United States, Jan 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The UN Security Council voted Tuesday to terminate a mission that tried to enforce a ceasefire in war-torn Yemen's port city of Hodeida. The UN mission is now scheduled to conclude in two months. The resolution approved Tuesday, which was sponsored by Britain, stipulates that the UN mission in Hodeida -- known as UNMHA -- must close as of March 31. The war in the poorest country in the Arabian peninsula has triggered the worst humanitarian crisis anywhere in the world, the United Nations says. It expects things to get worse in 2026 as hungry Yemenis find it even harder to get food and international aid drops off.
