Attacks since November on cargo ships in the key Red Sea trade route by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen will deepen the impoverished country's "dire" humanitarian situation, the Rome-based UN Food and Agriculture Organisation warned on Monday.
Yemen's Houthis militia, who have disrupted merchant shipping in the key Red Sea trade route since October with "illegal" missile and drone attacks, are "dangerous" and "are a terrorist organisation", Italy underlined on Thursday.
Italy has said it is not "intimidated" by threats made against it by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis if it takes part in "aggression" against the country, and has vowed to respond to any attack.
