SANAA (Debriefer)--The Ansar Allah group, known as the Houthis, on Monday expressed its dissatisfaction over double standard of international agencies in Yemen.
Senior Houthi leader, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, said that international organisations always turn a blind eye to challenges they face in regions controlled by the internationally recognised government and the UAE-backed southern transitional council.
"This is evidence of politicising their actions and double standard against the Yemeni capital Sanaa," he said.
Continued criticism of international organisations operating in Yemen has created a crisis between the group and organisations, including the World Food Programme.
The Houthi official urged aid agencies to respect their profession and deliver aid to all Yemenis without discrimination or exceptions.
The prosecution in the southern city of Aden on Wednesday accused WFP workers of harming the national economy, calling on the concerned authorities to blacklist them, prevent them from travelling and investigate them.
Chief of the public funds prosecution office Judge Wadhah Batheeb said the WFP represented by the director and deputy director of its office in Aden was accused of harming the national economy and asked to provide clarifications about its actions.
