ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
"Between 1949 and 1950, the overwhelming majority of Yemen’s Jewish population, including the Jewish population of the cities of Sanaʿa, Radaʿa, and ʿAden, was transported to Israel. Until 2009, the remainder resided in various villages in the far northern part of Yemen, in Saʿdah and ʿAmran governorates. As a consequence of the deteriorating security situation in North Yemen due to the Houthi Rebellion (from 2004) and the Yemen Crisis (2011–present), the Yemeni government relocated the remaining Jews of Saʿdah to the neighbourhood of “Tourist City” in the capital, adjacent to the American embassy; these have subsequently emigrated to Israel and upstate New York."
