The Ministry of Human Rights strongly condemned the heinous terrorist crime carried out by the Houthi militias on Monday evening, when they targeted a gathering and shelter for internally displaced people (IDP) in the Raghwan district, northern Marib governorate, with a ballistic missile.
The attack resulted in the death of two children, one aged seven and the other five, and injured 15 civilians, including eight children.
The ministry confirmed in a statement issued today, Tuesday,, learned by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that targeting gatherings of IDP, children and civilians is a serious crime and a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
The ministry stated that this crime is not an isolated incident, but rather comes in the context of a serious and systematic military escalation carried out by the Houthi terrorist militias, which has included targeting cities, residential neighborhoods, civilian areas and facilities.
The ministry called on the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and all other relevant international bodies to take clear and consistent stances on the violations committed against civilians.
