Al-Kamal pointed out that reports of local and international organizations confirm the responsibility of militia for the death of more than 120 women and the injury of 115 others in 2018 by direct shelling and planting of landmines in residential areas.
She said that most of the women victims of the militia were in the province of Hodeidah, Hajja and Taiz.
Among the victims were two women killed in the bombing of BaniJaberIDPs camp in Al-Khowkha Hodeidah, of the militia's terrorist crimes.
