Lebanon’s Hezbollah party condemned on Sunday the large-scale military strikes by the US against Yemen’s Houthis, according to a statement.
The strikes on Saturday targeting Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have killed at least 31 people, according to the Houthi-run health ministry.
US President Donald Trump said he ordered a series of airstrikes on the Houthi-held areas in Yemen on Saturday.
Trump promised to use “overwhelming lethal force” until the Iran-backed militias cease their attacks on shipping along a vital maritime corridor.

At least seven Sudanese migrants were found dead on Friday after their vehicle broke down and left them stranded for days deep in the Libyan desert, according to an ambulance service official.

The car was carrying 34 Sudanese when it broke down some after crossing Libya's border from Chad and onto a deserted path often used by smugglers, Ebrahim Belhassan, director of the Kufra Ambulance and Emergency Services, told The Associated Press.

They were discovered in the sand dunes after 11 days, having run out of food and water, he said.

"The survivors were almost about to die. They are severely dehydrated and exhibiting signs of distress and trauma with such circumstances and given that they’re seeing those around them dying and they know if they will die next,” he said. The 22 rescued, including five children, were transferred to Kufra for further medical checkups.

Five people are missing, but Belhassan said hopes were slim they would survive on foot in a vast desert.

A smuggler who found them alerted emergency crews, Belhassan said.

Libya, which shares borders with six nations and has a long coastline along the Mediterranean, is a main transit point for migrants fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East to seek better lives in Europe. The International Organization for Migration estimates around 787,000 migrants and refugees from various nationalities lived in Libya as of 2024.

During last year, the Kufra ambulance service responded to emergencies involving more than 260 Sudanese migrants found in the desert, Belhassan said.
