Yemeni official government on Sunday criticized UN Humanitarian Coordinator Lise Grande for not condemning a Houthi shell on IDP camp, leaving 8 killed and 30 others wounded in Haradh District of the northwestern Hajja Governorate.
Hadi government's relief higher committee called on Grande, who had attributed the strike to 'warring parties', to name the actual doer and hold "Houthis fully accountable for all crimes they commit against civilians and internally displaced persons and against relief, humanitarian work."
In a statement published by Aden-based Saba, the committee blamed the rebels for "all sufferings experienced by Yemeni people because of semi-daily crimes and bloodsheds committed by Houthi militias."
It is not new for "Houthi militias to target IDP camps and humanitarian centers, as they had previously targeted twice the KSrelief-funded Bani Jabir IDP Camp, leaving two women killed and more than 15 others injured," added the statement.
The committee called for urgent intervention and all pressures sufficient to prevent recurrence of acts in violation of all international humanitarian laws. "Silence at such gruesome crimes emboldens coup-leaders to do still more crimes."
Yemen has been racked by an armed conflict that broke out after the Iranian-backed Houthis had ousted the internationally recognized government late in 2014.
The conflict in Yemen, already the Arab world's poorest country, has left hundreds of thousands killed or injured and 3 million displaced, and pushed the country to the world's worst humanitarian crisis with more than 22 million people in need of aid - 8.4 million of whom are on the brink of starvation, according to the United Nations.
