Canadian aid organizations are keeping a close watch on Yemen following U.S. and British airstrikes in the impoverished country and the federal government’s decision to consider designating Yemen’s Houthi movement as a “terrorist entity.”

“For the time being, it seems like the impact is limited, but there certainly is a risk, especially given how vulnerable and fragile the context is in Yemen right now,” said Stefan Epp-Koop, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank’s senior humanitarian manager.
