- Yemen thanks Saudi Arabia for oil derivates grant and managing Aden General Hospital at the Kingdom’s expense
LONDON: The Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen have unjustly sieged Khubzah village in Al-Bayda province, south of Sanaa, and are indiscriminately bombing citizens with tanks and artillery, the country’s information minister said on Wednesday.
Moammer Al-Eryani described their actions as “a fully-fledged war crime” and that they were injuring women and children in those areas and destroying several houses.
“Houthi’s heinous crime under UN-sponsored truce, confirms its indifference to deescalation calls and efforts to alleviate Yemenis suffering, and taking advantage of the truce to subjugate tribes that oppose them, and to subjugate them to their priestly project,” he said in a series of tweets.
He urged the international community, and the UN and US envoys, to condemn their brutal attack, pressure the Houthi militia to end atrocities, prosecute perpetrators in international courts, lift their siege on Khubzah immediately, open safe corridors for citizens, and allow the injured to receive treatment.
Meanwhile, Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council expressed thanks to Saudi Arabia for providing a grant of oil derivatives to generate electricity worth $200 million, as well as the approval to contract with a company to manage and operate the Aden General Hospital at the expense of the Kingdom.
