Yemeni families are still searching for relatives who vanished in the war, but renewed fighting is blocking efforts to trace the missing. The ICRC says it has received more than 1,800 tracing requests since July.
01Summary
- 01Munif disappeared after joining the Houthis in 2020, and his family have searched for him for more than six years.
- 02The ICRC has received more than 1,800 tracing requests from families in Yemen since July.
- 03A May prisoner exchange deal covering more than 1,600 detainees was delayed after the government and Houthis accused each other of obstructing it.
- 04Abdulaziz, 24, has not contacted his family for two months while fighting in Marib, and Ali, 23, was reported killed in Mocha five days ago.
02Why it matters
The war has left families without basic answers about whether loved ones are alive, dead or detained. Renewed fighting is making it harder to identify the missing or recover bodies.
