Unidentified gunmen raided the Aden offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Monday, Reuters reports.

The perpetrators allegedly held the ICRC staff at gunpoint and stole cars, cash, and equipment, a spokesperson from the organization told the media. 

Fourteen staff members have since been relocated.

The ICRC has been providing humanitarian aid in Yemen by distributing medical supplies, food and water.
