🌍 Hey folks! UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres just dropped a serious call to cool things off between Israel and the Houthis in Yemen. His spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, says the situation is heating up, and the risk of a wider conflict is real.
🛑 Guterres wants EVERYONE to show restraint. International law is clear: civilians deserve protection. No one should be caught in the crossfire—period.
🚁 Here’s what went down this week:
- Wednesday: The Houthis launched a drone at Eilat, injuring around 20 people.
- Thursday: Israel hit back with air raids on Sanaa, killing at least nine (including children) and injuring over 150 others.
🔍 Why it matters: More strikes mean more risk for innocent people and regional stability. Guterres’s message? Governments and armed groups need to dial it back—now.
✌️ Bottom line: Young leaders and activists across South Asia and Southeast Asia are watching. It’s a reminder that in a connected world, local actions echo globally. Let’s hope restraint wins. 🙏
