Minister of Local Administration—Chairman of Supreme Relief Committee—Abdulraqeeb Fatah strongly condemned Houthi putschist militia for bombarding Bani Jaber Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Al-Khokhah district of Hodeidah province.

The shelling resulted in killing one woman, wounding dozens more and causing serious damages to the camp which is funded by KSrelief Center.

In statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) Fatah said" Shelling IDPs camps and humanitarian centers is a crime under all International and humanitarian laws and principles. Particularly, as it happened that the rebellious militia bombarded the center for rehabilitating the recruited children by the militia in Marib province, it has continued to attack the humanitarian centers".

The Minister urged local authority in Hodeidah and relief organizations operate in the area to document and report in detail about the damages to the government immediately.

Fatah called on the Intel to mount pressures on the militia to stop these crimes immediately and take firm stances to prevent the continuation of such terrorist acts the militia has been committing against the Yemeni people on the daily basis.
He also demanded international human rights organization to condemn this terrorist attack.

The Minister called on the Coordinator of Humanitarian Affairs in Yemen Liza Grande to document these terrorist crimes and report about to the International Security Council.
