  "account": "Yemen's conflict intensified as Houthis and Saudi-led coalition engaged in airstrikes, with over 500 deaths since last week's Houthi offensive near the Bab al-Mandab strait. At least 50 attacks hit multiple regions, including flashpoints Taiz and Hodeida. Mohammed Khudairi, a displaced person, recounted the ongoing violence and the thousands who fled. Saudi Arabia alleged Iran-backed rebels launched attacks on its south, while the rebels claimed Saudi strikes killed 32 and injured seven. The conflict, fueled by the Middle East war, has drawn in the Gulf and global economy, driving oil prices near $100. Houthi attacks on oil sites and a prison have claimed lives, while Saudi responses continue. Analysts see Hodeida, a key Red Sea port, as the ultimate target. The ongoing hostilities risk re-sparking the deadly Yemeni crisis that killed hundreds of thousands and caused a severe humanitarian situation.",
  "summary": "The Houthis say more than 50 attacks targeted several regions in Yemen, including the flashpoint areas of Taiz and Hodeida.",
