Int'l organizations mum on Houthi violations against Yemen's children
The tragedy of the children of Yemen is increases day after day, with the Houthi militia stepping up its violations against them, including by putting them in the battlefield.
There is growing evidence of
complicity between the militia and some international bodies in this regard.
This evidence becomes clear as the
Houthis sustain more losses on the ground.
The Yemeni news site, al-Mashhad,
quoted local sources in Yemeni capital Sana'a as confirming collaboration
between the Houthi militia and come local human rights organizations in the
Yemeni capital.
Some lawyers, they said, have
evidence, including photos, proving this collaboration.
This comes after the Houthis refused
to provide information about the fate of hundreds of children in the areas they
controlled.
A large number of the families of
these children are calling on international humanitarian organizations to
intervene to determine their whereabouts of their children.
The same sources said a large number
of Sana'a residents plan to file a complaint against all organizations
operating in Yemen, especially in Houthi-controlled areas, on Houthi violations
against their children.
Houthi crimes, they said, continue
to be committed until the present.
This comes as international
organizations turn a blind eye to these violations.
The sources stated that large
numbers of children were kidnapped from their schools, homes and markets and
sent directly to the battlefronts to fight.
The children, they added, are between
the ages of seven and 13.
