A Yemeni human rights organization revealed today, Tuesday, the process of forcible displacement of civilians carried out by the terrorist Houthi militia in a number of villages in one of the Directorates under its control, south of the coastal Hodeidah, in the west of the country.

In a statement issued by it, Mayyun for Human Rights and Development Organization said that it had received reports from local residents in Al-Jarrahi Directorate confirming cases of forced displacement of the people of the villages of Al-Ghashwa, Bani Shu'aib, Al-Akda, Bani Al-Khalouf and Al-Khabt.

And it warned that "these violations will add new suffering to the families who have been displaced from their homes, and multiply the burdens on the host communities and humanitarian organizations working in Hodeidah, which are already suffering from a lack of funding."

And the Organization explained that "these irresponsible violations and practices committed by the Houthi militia come in the midst of international demands by the parties to the conflict to grant the United Nations Mission in Hodeidah access to monitor the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement."

And the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, had recently displaced the residents of two rural villages in the southern Hodeidah Governorate and forced the people to leave their homes and forcibly displaced.

And local sources stated that one of the leaders of the Houthi group, along with a number of armed military patrols carrying heavy weapons, threatened the residents of the villages of Bani Shu'aib and Khalouf, located to the west of the Al-Jarrahi Directorate, and gave them 24 hours to leave their village and force them to flee from them.

 

And it revealed that the number of families who were displaced is 90 families and left their homes accompanied by the elderly, their women and children.

And it pointed out that the Houthi militia prevented the people of the villages of Bani Shu'aib and Khalouf from migrating to the liberated areas, forcing them to migrate to their areas of control, and making them homeless in the districts of Al-Jarrahi and Zabid and the villages adjacent to the two Directorate without shelter, most of them sleeping on the roads.

And members of the Houthi militia, on board cars loaded with mines and explosive devices, planted the houses and lands of the villages of Bani Shu'aib and Khalouf with mines and explosives.

And the sources reported that the Houthi militia had built a new road towards the two villages to be used by its members after the first one was flooded with mines, while turning the homes of the displaced into military barracks and combat fortifications.
