DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The world must not lose sight of the plight of those living through the yearslong war in Yemen. Katharina Ritz, the International Committee of the Red Cross’ head of delegation in Yemen, made the plea on Friday in an interview with The Associated Press. She urged continued aid for the Middle East’s poorest nation as the war in Ukraine grabs the world’s attention. Ritz also said discussions continue over possible future prisoner swaps between the Houthi rebels and a Saudi-led coalition fighting on behalf of the country’s exile government.
