The top news of the day at the UN and around the world: a Security Council meeting on the situation in Yemen, an Israeli invasion of an UNRWA medical center, escalating violence in Haiti, and 2025 being among the top three warmest years on record.
The situation in Yemen
Speaking at the UN Security Council on behalf of Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher, OCHA spokesman Ramesh Rajasingham warned that the humanitarian crisis in Yemen continues to worsen this year. He stated that more than 18 million people will face acute food shortages as early as next month. Meanwhile, due to funding cuts, millions of Yemenis are not receiving the assistance they need. The OCHA representative also called on the Security Council to secure the release of UN and other agency staff detained in Yemen.
UNRWA Center
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said Israeli security forces invaded the agency's medical center in East Jerusalem and ordered its closure for 30 days, depriving hundreds of Palestinians of access to primary healthcare. All UN symbols were also ordered to be removed. UNRWA spokesman Jonathan Fowler emphasized that the agency's facilities are United Nations premises and are protected by international law.
Violence in Haiti
According to the International Organization for Migration, clashes in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, have displaced approximately 6,000 people since January 6. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warns that the escalating violence has seriously impacted humanitarian programs. Doctors Without Borders announced the suspension of all medical services in the Bel-Air area. The scale of forced displacement in Haiti reached 1.4 million people last year. By 2026, 6.4 million people—more than half the country's population—will require assistance. The UN and partners have appealed for $880 million for humanitarian operations in Haiti.
Record warming
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has officially confirmed that 2025 entered the top three warmest years Since its inception, global warming has continued: the last 11 years have been the hottest on record, and ocean temperature increases show no signs of slowing. According to an analysis of data from eight independent sources, the average global surface temperature in 2025 was 1.44 degrees Celsius above the 1850–1900 average.
