Fatah deplores Houthi continued confiscation of relief aid

ADEN-SABA
Minister of Local Administration, the Chairman of the Higher Committee for Relief Aid, Abdul-Raqib Fatah, strongly condemned the Houthi rebels continued seizure and confiscation of humanitarian relief aid.

In a statement to Saba, Fatah said the rebels keep interfering in the humanitarian organizations work in the capital Sana'a and other provinces under their control.

Fatah said the rebels seize shipments of medicines for renal failure patients in Ibb and deny the needy other provinces access to humanitarian aid.

He said that the rebels tamper with the lists of aid beneficiaries by replacing the real destitute people with the rebel group's loyalists and by deceiving aid organizations to get aid sold in the black markets so as to raise funds for the group.

Fatah called on the UN organizations to stop being silentfor these practices and instead to reveal these abuses to the public opinion, the international and local.

He called on the Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, Lisa Grande, to do something to stop this Houthi confiscation and misuse of humanitarian supplies.

Fatah renewed the call to the international organizations to decentralize the humanitarian aid across the country to ensure access to all the entitled beneficiaries, the real ones in all provinces.
