The Charity Commission for England and Wales (the UK's principal charity regulator) has issued an official warning to Save the Children International following a two-year investigation into management failures at the charity's Yemen office. The inquiry, prompted in part by the death of safety and security director Hisham Al-Hakimi after he was detained by Yemeni authorities in October 2023, found that weak governance left staff unprotected amid serious security threats and that whistleblower complaints were not properly escalated. Save the Children has accepted the findings, apologised to staff, and says it has since installed new leadership, introduced detention risk assessments and closed its north Yemen office, while continuing to deliver aid during what the charity describes as a "catastrophic humanitarian situation" in the country.
