We are horrified by the death of Mohammed al-Shami while in Houthi custody, the second death of a UN aid worker in custody. The UK is calling for the immediate and unconditional release of the arbitrarily detained UN staff. We condemn the unacceptable blocking of essential humanitarian aid to Yemenis in need. Stephen Doughty British Secretary of State for the Middle East and North Africa.
