Yemen condemns Houthi militia’s targeting of civilians in Hodeidah

Yemen’s human rights ministry on Sunday condemned in the strongest terms the Iranian-backed Houthi attack, which killed 11 civilians, including five children and three women, and wounded six others, all of them in critical condition.
The “massacre” struck the village of Al-Qaza in Al-Durayhimi district, south of Hodeidah, the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) said, adding that “the terrorist Houthi militia bombed the homes of (these) citizens in the village.”
The ministry said: “These crimes come in light of suspicious silence from the international community, which is satisfied with only expressions of condemnation and regret without standing in front of the crimes committed by the Houthi militia against civilians.”
The ministry also stressed that this massacre should not go unpunished, as it comes within a continuous approach through which the Houthi militia “punishes the regions that reject its sectarian ideology based on killing, forced displacement and the spread of sectarianism and racism.”
