...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives.

rebels.
The announcement came a day after the UN suspended its operations in the rebel's stronghold in northern Yemen.
The World Food Programme (WFP) said in a statement that one of its staff members died while in detention in northern Yemen. He was one of seven WFP staffers detained by the Houthi rebels on 23 January. No cause of death was given.
''Heartbroken and outraged by the tragic loss of WFP team member, Ahmed, who lost his life while arbitrarily detained in Yemen,'' WFP executive director Cindy McCain wrote on the X social media platform.
She said the worker, who is survived by his wife and two children, ''played a crucial role in our mission to deliver lifesaving food assistance.''
A Houthi front man didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
The 40-year-old worker, who joined the UN food agency in 2017, died Monday in a prison in the northern province of Saada, and that the circumstances of his death weren't immediately known, said a WFP official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
