The Houthi coup militia continues to detain four trucks loaded with medical solutions allocated for the renal dialysis center at the Customs, which was created by the militias last year at the southern entrance of the city of Ibb that is under the control of the militia in central Yemen.

 

Local sources reported that the Houthi militia continued to detain four trucks of relief medicine coming from Aden, loaded with medical solutions allocated for the renal dialysis center affiliated to the hospital of al-Thawrah in Ibb city.

 

According to the sources, these trucks arrived a week ago to the governorate of Ibb and entered into the Customs courts in the area of Mayttem. And these trucks have not been released until this moment, where the militias are demanding funds for their release.

 

The doctors warned that these solutions may be subjected to damage, especially in light of their staying under the sun, calling on the hospital to take the necessary procedures for the release of these trucks so as not to expire, especially in light of the suffering of kidney failure patients in the governorate.

 

The Houthi militia has resorted to detaining trucks loaded with medicines and medical aid affiliated to various local and international organizations, where militias are imposing large sums of money in return for their release, which could cause some of these medicines to be damaged by their continued staying under the sun's heat.

 

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) had declared on Thursday that it had begun a partial suspension of food aid operations in areas under the control of Houthi militias in Yemen.

 

In a statement issued by the World Food Program on its official website, it said that "And at this stage, with the support of all United Nations bodies, we have decided to suspend our work in the city of Sana'a alone, which could affect some 850,000 people."

 

In his briefing to the UN Security Council on Monday, WFP Director, David Paisley, warned that food aid could begin to be suspended in Yemen this week due to the diversion of aid to non-earmarked purposes and the lack of work independence in the areas under the control of Houthis.
