Hodeidah, NewsYemen, private:
Government officials and human rights organizations denounced the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, who blew up a government school in Hays District, Hodeidah Governorate, in the west of the country.
The Director-General of Education in Al-Hodeidah Governorate, Ibrahim Agash, and the director of the Hays district, Mutaher Al-Qadi, in statements to "NewsYmen", denounced the Houthi militia's bombing of the (Khadija) Primary School for Boys and Girls in the village of Al-Rubat in the Hays district.
The two officials described blowing up the school with dynamite as a "crime against humanity", and said that it comes in the context of the systematic Houthi policy to target and destroy the education sector in order to ignore the people and return them to the era of the Imamate.
In this context, the human rights organization Rights Radar expressed, in a tweet on its Twitter page, its condemnation of the Houthi bombing of an elementary school in Hodeidah.
In addition, the director of the Department of Education in the "Hais" district, Ahmed Bakri, said that the terrorist Houthi militia blew up the school last Wednesday, August 4, 2021, and turned it into rubble in a condemned terrorist manner.
The director of Hays Education pointed out that the Houthis booby-trapped all schools on the outskirts of the district, which are located close to the lines of fire.
The Houthi militia has deprived hundreds of students in the areas under its control in the Hays district of the right to education after seizing schools and turning them into military barracks and booby-trapping some of them and blowing up others.
The "Khadija" school is the second school to be blown up by the Houthi militia in the same area. Last September, it blew up the Al-Kifah School northwest of the city.
