The UN Security Council extended the sanctions on the Houthis in Yemen.
At its meeting on Thursday, the UN Security Council extended the sanctions on Yemen and asked the Houthis to stop attacks against civilians.
Members of the UN Security Council voted unanimously to approve resolutions expanding financial sanctions and travel bans against people who have participated in or support actions that threaten the peace, security and stability of Yemen.
This resolution, proposed by Britain, also asks the Houthis to end the "military escalation" and stop attacks on civilians and urban infrastructure.
Sarah McIntosh, Britain's UN representative, said in a statement: "The adoption of this resolution by a unanimous vote shows the determination of this council to take decisive action against the Houthi attacks, against Saudi Arabia and the region." At the same time and in separate statements, the United Nations announced that more than 333,000 people have been displaced from their homes since the beginning of the conflicts in Yemen in August, and in the last week alone their number reached more than 24,000.
