Yemeni Official Accuses Houthis of Breaking Into ICRC Headquarter in Hodeidah

Houthis broke into an office of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Hodeidah, an official at the Yemeni government revealed this week.
Meanwhile, several Houthi militias were killed and injured during the past two days as a result of the ongoing fighting with the National Army in Taiz, al-Bayda, Wasat, Saada and al-Daleh.
A leading Houthi official was also killed in fighting with the Joint Forces in al-Barah.
The media office of the Giants Brigades said that Houthi Major Abdullah Abdullah Awbal and other militia members were killed in that area, located west of Taiz.
It said Major Awbal operates as a commander for a group of Houthi militias at al-Barah fronts.
Last Thursday, the Giant Brigades said Houthis committed 16,000 breaches to the Stockholm agreement by heavily shelling residential areas and government forces gatherings in Durihimi, Hays, Khokha, Al Jah and areas on edges of Hodeidah.
At the beat of the Houthi violations and military escalation in Hodeidah, the militants attacked a hospital in al-Tahita district, south of the governorate.
The attack came while Houthis also broke into ICRC offices.
The secretary of Hodeidah Waleed Al Qudaimi wrote on his Twitter account, “Houthis broke into ICRC offices and expulsed employees,” adding that this was not the first time they behave the sort.
Also, the Giant Brigades quoted local sources as saying that militias sporadically targeted the countryside hospital using 23-millimeter calibers, hitting civilian patients.
“The militias continue to daily violate the UN truce by hitting residential areas, killing civilians and damaging their belongings,” the sources said.
The Brigades published a report on their website revealing that Houthi artillery shells and landmines have killed 232 civilians including 68 children and 29 women in Yemen’s Red Sea province of Hodeidah since the Stockholm Agreement, signed between the internationally recognized government and Houthis in late 2018.
