Detention Details

The detention of the staff members, whose specific number was not detailed, took place for a period of several days. This incident occurred over five years prior to current reports.

Aid Distribution Methods

The reason for the detention was linked to the method used for distributing financial aid packages. The staff involved conducted their own assessment to determine the recipients of the aid. This approach diverged from a beneficiary list that had been provided by the Houthis.
