    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Houthi actions in wreaking havoc on global shipping routes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden have seen them surge in popularity at home and gain unexpected influence and cachet abroad.

    Certainly, the Houthi attacks on shipping routes off the coast of Yemen have massively refocused a lot of the political and worldwide business attention - and right now, it is the heavily armed, Iranian-backed militants who appear to have the upper hand.

    The longer this continues, the more challenging the talks on a lasting peace in the country become, with Mr Grundberg pointing out to the UN: “With more interests at play, the parties to the conflict in Yemen are more likely to shift calculations and alter their negotiation agendas.”

    It’s a hotchpotch of timber, corrugated sheets, discarded fabric and torn tents hammered together to make shelters for hundreds of people displaced by old and new instability.

    The babies are both painfully thin with ribs protruding; extended, bloated stomachs and crinkled extra folds of skin hanging off tiny, stick-like limbs.

    Emergency isolation tents have been set up in the grounds of Al Sadaqah hospital to cope with the influx of cholera patients and the extra numbers expected.
