Aden – Saleh El Mansoub
Medical sources revealed that “Saleh&Houthis” dead and wounded were transferred to “Public Revolution” hospital in Eb in the last few hours, and the emergency room of the hospital receives number of wounded every day, and tens of the militias arrived at the hospital after violent clashes between them and the government forces . The sources continue that, number of Houthis was transferred to private hospitals in Eb, while others went to “victory” hospital or the Canadian hospital. The Public Revolution hospital received a lot Houthis wounded, especially after the clashes increased west of “Taiz”, adding that the militias have been taking the Revolution hospital as their main headquarter to treat their wounded since October 2014, and “Doctors without borders” organization announced their departure last month because of the militias’ improper behavior. Other field sources revealed that the National Army and Popular Resistance managed to free “El Thubani” area near Khaled Ibn El Waleed camp, in "Mukha" ,Taiz. The liberation of El Thubani area came after number of Arab Coalition raids, targeting the militias’ locations, but some mines planted by the militias hindered the forces progress, and took them some time to resolve them. The Yemeni government criticized United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for his intervene in the military battles, and blamed the organization for not supervising Houthis’ activities through Hodeidah port. UN envoy, Jamie McGoldrick asked the Coalition forces during a press conference on Thursday, not to start a battle in Hodeidah port, because it will damage goods and aid supplies that reach Yemen through it. Minister of Local Administration and Chairman of the Higher Relief Committee, Abdulraqeeb Fateh told “Saba’” agency that UN Humanitarian Coordinator’s intervene in military business is against his humanitarian mission and international agreements, which state that every governorate, airport, and port is under Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi’s control, and that includes Hodeidah governorate and its port. He added that Houthis’ control over some governorates and ports is unusual matter and United Nation should be against it. He expressed his resentment over the United Nation’s decline to supervise Hodeidah port, saying that it is within the organization humanitarian mission to accept this request, especially after the UN accused the Yemeni government and the Arab Coalition of turning this port into a military base, that threatens international navigation and attacks ships. The Arab Coalition said in a statement that, restoring the port will be soon, and other ports are being prepared to receive humanitarian aids. The pressure to free this port increases every day especially, after the attack on a Saudi frigate last January, which killed two of the staff. The Houthis are showing their fair over the port’s liberation, as it is the only one under their control after freeing Aden and Mukha ports. This liberation will also strengthen the siege imposed on them in "Saada" in the capital Sanaa.
