"Shelling the camps of the displaced unarmed civilians is a heinous crime … and is considered a war crime," said the Unit in a statement.

"This crime is one in a series of crimes the Houthi militia has committed, the shelling of IDP camps in Hodeidah, al-Khaneq area in Sana'a and lastly in Hajjah."
