Houthi members stormed the house of World Food Program's relief coordinator in al-Husha district in al-Dhale' province and kidnapped him to an unknown destination.

Local sources said to Newsyemen the armed militias kidnapped Thabet Muthana Obad al-Haddad to unknown destination.

The armed militias orally attacked on al-Takafol Social Association and its members amid death threats in case the disbursement of food aid has been done without their supervision.    

The militias have tightened their grip on all the relief organizations and institutions in the provinces and areas under their control.

The armed militias loot and confiscate aid and deprive those in need, amid the silence of international aid organizations.
