Aden Lie in Ruins as War Chokes City and Ports
Hundreds of families in central Aden are trapped as weeks of urban warfare halt supplies. Volunteers in rickety boats ferry food and medicine across the harbor while airstrikes by a Saudi-led coalition target rebels and allied militias. The city faces widespread destruction, crippled infrastructure, water and electricity outages, and mounting civilian casualties.

Congressman pushes for hostage czar role to coordinate
Democratic Rep. John Delaney, citing Warren Weinstein’s death in a drone strike, proposes creating a hostage czar to unify and direct U S hostage rescue efforts across agencies. The plan would form a National Security Council panel led by the czar, without authorizing negotiations with terrorists. The White House considers a fusion cell for coordination amid debate over ransom payments. The Weinstein family lamented the failure to secure release and pressed for action.
