UNITED NATIONS, Feb 10 (Reuters) - The United Nations has paused all operations in Yemen's Sa'ada governorate after more U.N. staff were detained by the Houthi authorities, deputy U.N. spokesperson Farhan Haq said on Monday.
"This extraordinary and temporary measure seeks to balance the imperative to stay and deliver with the need to have the safety and security of the U.N. personnel and its partners guaranteed," Haq said. "Such guarantees are ultimately required to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of our efforts."
