Fighting in Yemen has renewed between the Houthi rebels and the government, raising fears among civilians that the country could slide back into all-out war after the relative calm of a 2022 truce. The years-long conflict has already killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and left large parts of the country struggling to avoid famine.
People in areas affected by earlier offensives describe fleeing as hostilities intensify again. One resident from Hodeida recalls seeking refuge in Mokha as Houthi forces advanced. Across the reporting, the central focus is civilian insecurity and the concern that renewed combat could undo the fragile stability created by the truce.
While outlets differ mainly in how they frame broader alliances, both point to the breakdown of the 2022 agreement and the resumption of hostilities. The Express Tribune describes renewed Houthi attacks in connection with a Saudi-backed government, while other coverage emphasizes the immediate threat felt on the ground and the risk of a return to large-scale fighting.
