Red Cross Urges Urgent De-escalation in West Asia Conflict
The Red Cross called for urgent de-escalation in West Asia on October 13, 2026, warning that continued fighting would be disastrous for tens of millions of civilians. The Yemen civil war, involving a Saudi-led coalition against Iran-backed Houthis, reignited in July amid a wider regional crisis affecting energy markets. The Houthis have targeted Saudi oil facilities and transport hubs, causing significant destruction and casualties.
