On Wednesday, the Biden administration labeled the Houthis a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist group," opening the door to the imposition of sweeping sanctions. Aid groups immediately responded with warnings that the designation threatens to greatly intensify Yemen's humanitarian crisis. As a result of the almost decade-long war the Saudi regime has waged on Yemen with US arms and logistical support, more than half of the country's population — over 18 million people — need food and other assistance..."US Imperialism Setting Middle East Ablaze", World Socialist Web SiteThe Biden administration is in the process of reimposing the 7 year-long embargo on Yemen that cut off food, water and essential medical supplies to the civilian population.
