Aden, Ramadan 02, 1438, May 28, 2017, SPA -- Coup militias of Al-Houthi and ousted Saleh have pursued a way of planting minefields in cities and governorates from which they withdrew due to the strikes of the government forces and Arab Coalition to Support the Legitimacy in Yemen to harm the largest number of unarmed Yemeni citizens.
The Arab Federation for Human Rights has revealed in a recent report that Al-Houthis have planted more than half a million antipersonnel mines in different parts of Yemen, killing more than 700 people, while engineers trained by the Arab Coalition have succeeded in dismantling 40,000 mines.
For its part, the Yemeni Coalition for Monitoring Human Rights Violations has revealed that women and children are the most victims of mines, pointing out that 924 people were wounded and 572 others were permanently disabled by the explosion of mines planted by the militias.
Meanwhile, King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid continues implementation of its projects to assist the Yemeni people to get out of this crisis, including its project to support rehabilitation centers for the injured and artificial limbs carried out by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) with an amount of more than $ 10 million.
