Fighting in Yemen leaves 504 dead and nearly 2,400 wounded

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 20:37

Fighting in Yemen has killed at least 504 people and injured nearly 2,400 during the last month of confrontations, according to data announced today by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The confrontations pit Houthi rebels against the forces of the internationally recognized Yemeni Government. These numbers reflect the violence of the last month of hostilities between the two parties in conflict.

The WHO revealed this toll as part of its statement on the humanitarian situation in the country. The high number of civilian and combatant casualties highlights the intensity of the fighting that has ravaged Yemen.

The article does not specify which regions or cities were most affected by the confrontations, nor does it mention any possible negotiations or truces between the parties involved in the conflict.

Why this matters

The WHO numbers reveal the devastating scale of the conflict in Yemen, with hundreds of civilians killed and wounded in a single month. This violence directly affects the Yemeni population and worsens the already severe humanitarian crisis in the country, which has been facing a civil war with catastrophic consequences for civilians for years.

Don't "turn into", become Portuguese from Portugal.

This opinion article calls for the preservation of European Portuguese in the face of the growing influence of Brazilianisms in digital media and schools, considering the successive orthographic agreements as failed attempts at standardization that impoverish the European standard. The author argues that the linguistic diversity of the Lusophone world should be celebrated, but without the Portuguese variant being diluted in its own country, calling for a return to valuing traditional grammar, writing with silent consonants, and the musicality of Portuguese vocabulary.
