UN restricts aid supplies to parts of Yemen

The UN has partially suspended aid to parts of Yemen controlled by Houthi rebels, accusing them of misappropriating supplies.

The World Food Programme (WFP) described the move as a last resort.

The UN agency had warned that it would restrict deliveries if the rebels failed to agree measures to prevent food being diverted by corrupt officials.

It had previously said efforts to reach people in need were being blocked.
