Abduction of SFD 's 40 workers

[17/04/2017 04:38]

Aden (Saba)- Minister of Local Administration Abdul-Raqeeb Fatah has denounced the abduction of 40 workers of the Social Fund for Development (SFD) in Dhamar governorate.

In a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), Fatah asserted that the violations made by the Houthi-Saleh militias against workers of relief and organizations are increasing, demanding the international human rights organizations to condemn the militias' acts and put pressures on them to release the abductees.

Fatah, who is also on charges of the Higher Committee for Relief, held the Houthi-Saleh militias responsible for the deterioration of humanitarian situation in the governorates which are still run by the putschists.

He made clear that the continuation of seizing relief organizations' workers and storming their offices will lead to the suspension of relief works and worsen the humanitarian situation in Yemen.
