Since January 2024, American and British military strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen have resulted in at least 400 civilian deaths, including a devastating strike on a migrant detention center that killed 68 African migrants. While the Pentagon claims these operations aim to ensure maritime security, local voices express deep resentment and highlight the humanitarian crisis exacerbated by ongoing strikes and Houthi repression. Despite U.S. efforts, the Houthis have adapted, maintaining resilience and strategic coordination with Iran, while public support for their rule erodes amid worsening conditions.
