Al-Jawf, NewsYemen.
The Relief Committee in Al-Jawf Governorate revealed, during a press conference held on Sunday, that cash aid allocated by international organizations to displaced Yemeni families went to the benefit of militia members and fighters based on misleading information.
The Relief Committee in Al-Jawf Governorate accused the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) of publishing false information about the displaced in the governorate, calling for an international investigation into the aid disbursed in the governorate and benefited by the terrorist Houthi militia.
In the press conference, the deputy governor of the committee, Abdullah Al-Hashidi, said that while the displacement from Al-Jawf governorate to Marib and the eastern and northern regions, the committee was surprised by a report that monitors the displacement of one million and 255,000 displaced people to the militia-controlled areas in Al-Jawf, coming from Saada, Amran and Marib.
He stressed that the report contained false and inaccurate information and data, noting that the cash aid was disbursed to the terrorist Houthi militia.
The committee considered that everything contained in the report issued by the UNHCR was not based on the simplest standards of humanitarian work, provided false and misleading information and numbers, and raised statistics that only served the Houthi militia, which worked to politicize and exploit humanitarian aid to support its terrorist activities against citizens and deprive the true beneficiaries of it.
It stressed that all aid provided by international organizations is forcibly managed by the Houthi militia and is used to serve its members and to tighten its security grip.
The committee called on humanitarian organizations to urgently intervene and provide aid to the camps for the displaced in the Khub Al Sha’af district (Al Rayyan – Al Taymah – Al Harj), the district of Bart Al Anan, the isolation of Al Suleiman (Al Qarn – Afee – Al Hadaba) and others that were affected in March 2020 and no humanitarian aid reached them.
