Save the Children is issued an official regulatory warning by the Charity Commission for England and Wales following findings related to its Yemen operations. The regulator completes a two-year investigation into the charity’s management of its Yemen office after the death of Hisham al-Hakimi in October 2023. Al-Hakimi, the charity’s safety and security director, dies after he is detained by Yemeni authorities.
The Charity Commission’s warning cites management failures and misconduct that, according to the regulator, put staff at serious risk. The sources describe the warning as based on the investigation’s conclusions about how the office is run, particularly around safety and security arrangements.
While the reporting centers on the regulator’s findings and the circumstances of al-Hakimi’s death, the outlets provide limited additional detail on specific breaches or remedial actions in the excerpts. Overall, the coverage aligns on the fact of the official warning, the regulator involved, the Yemen focus, and the inquiry period tied to the October 2023 death.
