Houthi militiamen have held back the trucks which loaded food, medicines and fuels for hospitals for more than one month in the city of Ibb.

Spokesman of the government Rajeh Badi said in statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) "The Yemeni Government has been closely and anxiously following up the detention of 210 trucks by Houthi militia in the city of Ibbt for over one month.
