NEW YORK, 11th February, 2025 (WAM) -- The United Nations World Food Programme said Tuesday one of its staffers has died in a Yemeni prison three weeks after his detention in northern Yemen.

"Heartbroken and outraged by the tragic loss of WFP team member, Ahmed, who lost his life while arbitrarily detained in Yemen," WFP executive director Cindy McCain wrote on the social media platform X.
