Yemen Fighting Resumption Prompts 1,800 Requests for Missing Relatives

Since fighting resumed in July 2026, the International Committee of the Red Cross has received more than 1,800 tracing requests from Yemeni families seeking missing relatives. The war began in September 2014 when the Houthis captured Sanaa. A 2022 truce had raised hopes for searches, but renewed fighting has halted them.
