Red Cross Evacuates 71 Staff Members from Yemen
-----------------------------------------------

The Red Cross has evacuated 71 staff members from Yemen amid rising
threats and security risks to its aid workers. Hundreds more Red Cross
workers remain inside Yemen. The Wall Street Journal reported last week
the United States is weighing expanding its role in the ongoing war in
Yemen, which has killed 15,000 civilians, sparked the world's worst
cholera epidemic and pushed the country to the brink of famine.
