At least 1,574 people have been killed and 6,939 others injured in Yemen since the latest military escalation began in August, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Thursday.

In a report seen by Anadolu Agency, the UN health agency said it had recorded 8,513 casualties since the beginning of August.

The figure included 1,574 deaths and 6,939 injuries as of Oct. 19, the WHO said, without specifying whether the casualties were civilians, military personnel or both.

The agency said 292 people were killed and 1,048 others injured during the latest eight-day reporting period.

Last Thursday, the WHO said it had recorded 1,282 deaths and 5,891 injuries since the escalation began on Aug. 6, 2026, before the toll rose to the latest figures.

Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since the Houthis seized Sanaa and several other provinces in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.

The Houthis control much of northern and western Yemen, while government forces and their allies hold Aden and large parts of the country’s southern and eastern provinces.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel. New Labour UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham continues Labour party policy of active support and complicity in Israel's genocide. — Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham admits to blatently lying and engaging in deception to become leader of the UK Labour Party and Prime Minister.

Ed Miliband says that he and the Labour Party are full of shit criminalising people holding signs as terrorists despite anything he says.
