(MENAFN) Yemen's Houthi militias have stopped over 35 U.N. and international agencies and relief groups from working in the territory under their control, according to U.N. sources to Foxnews.
A leaked document posted on Twitter by the Yemeni Embassy in Washington, operated by the government, showed a list of 35 agencies, including the World Health Organization, the U.N. children's agency and Oxfam.
The document, purportedly signed by a Houthi-allied deputy health minister, orders officials to "ban them from movement in and to governorates," because they work "unilaterally."
Yemen's civil war has killed 10,000 people and displaced 2 million.
