Mike Pompeo’s designation of Houthis as foreign terror group will block food and other aid, senior humanitarian says
The US designation of the Houthi movement in Yemen as a terrorist organisation is likely to lead to a famine on a scale not seen for 40 years, the UN’s most senior humanitarian official has said.
Mark Lowcock, the director general of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, called for the decision to be reversed, saying the cost of food was likely to rise by as much as 400%, way beyond the reach of many aid agencies.

One has to ask what is Mike Pompeo up to. In one week he has designated three places that he might not be able to find on his famous map as homes for terrorists and because he is an unelected powerful American no food or medicine can be sent to the Iranians, the Cubans, and the Houthis from any country under threat of reprisal by the USA. He is certainly keeping busy in his last week on the job as Donald Trump's Secretary of State. I do wonder how difficult it would be for Joe Biden to declare all this mindless hate to be null and void and rescind everything he has done.
