Marib, NewsYemen:


The Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, targeted the densely populated and displaced city of Marib, with 10 ballistic missiles, in one night, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed, in a statement, that the city of Marib was hit, on Friday night, by Houthi strikes using 10 ballistic missiles, but the ministry did not mention casualties or damage to citizens' homes.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its surprise at this silence by international humanitarian organizations or their statements that do not specify any responsibility, as if the perpetrator is unknown, and they watch and hear the dangers facing millions of civilians and displaced persons as a result of those Houthi attacks that did not respect international humanitarian law.

The government also expressed its surprise at the timid humanitarian interventions of these organizations in Marib, which did not meet the minimum level of humanitarian needs, and called on the humanitarian organizations to shoulder their legal and moral responsibilities and urgently intervene to save the lives of civilians and displaced people in the Ma'rib governorate, who are facing the consequences of the war machine of the terrorist Houthi militia.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs said that since the Houthi coup, the governorate of Marib has sheltered more than two million displaced people who fled the oppression and injustice of the Houthis in search of safety, adding that since the beginning of February, Marib has been exposed to the largest and fiercest Houthi attacks in which the group has used all kinds of weapons, including drones and ballistic missiles. .
