The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs has renewed its call to the Security Council to protect civilians in the besieged al-Abdiah District, Marib Province, in various possible ways and spare them the scourge of war and continuous shelling by ballistic rockets and drones.

The ministry called for international condemnation of violations of International Humanitarian Law by the Houthi militia in Yemen.

The ministry is surprised by the international silence over Houthi militia's genocides of civilians and displaced people in al-Abdiah District, said foreign affairs ministry in a release on Friday.

At a time when the Houthi militia is targeting tens of thousands of civilians in the district with various types of weapons, it is imposing a suffocating blockade on the district and preventing the entry of food, medicine and baby milk to the civilians, added the release.
