BBC: Yemen war: WFP accuses Houthi rebels of diverting food aid
The World Food Programme has demanded Yemen's rebel Houthi movement stops diverting desperately needed food aid from people in areas under its control.
A survey by the UN agency said people in the capital Sanaa had not received rations to which they were entitled.
The WFP said lorries were illegally removing food from distribution areas, with rations sold on the open market or given to those not entitled to it.
