Yemeni government criticises US travel ban

In a statement released on Thursday (5 June), the Yemeni government expressed strong concern over the United States' recent decision to ban its citizens from entering the country. Yemeni officials said the move would negatively affect thousands of Yemeni students, researchers and families who have complied with U.S. laws. They urged the U.S. to reconsider, citing Yemen’s ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Yemen has been in conflict since 2014, resulting in one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Millions of people have been displaced, and widespread hunger has become a daily reality. According to UNICEF, more than half of Yemen’s population relies on food assistance, and malnutrition is particularly severe among children. Observers warn that the travel ban could make it harder for Yemenis to access education, medical care and family support in the US.
