A Yemeni aid organization accused Houthi militias of displacing 67 families from their homes in Taiz province and killing seven women and 15 children. They also committed about 157 violations in Mahwit governorate in January and February. According to Rasd Organization for Freedoms and Rights, a non-profit NGO, violations carried out by Houthi militias in Mahwit have varied over the last two months, including forced abductions, incitement, village raids, child recruitment and other abuses. It said in its report that 59 forced disappearances and 13 cases of incitement were recorded. Houthi militias also raided two villages and four homes, they recruited 15 children, occupied 43 government buildings and nine private buildings, according to the report. In Taiz, the Humanitarian Relief Coalition, which includes a number of associations and NGOs, said in a recent report on the humanitarian situation in the city that as many as “67 families have lost their breadwinners in the war-torn Taiz province during February 2018, and 305 other persons who support their families are now jobless because they were wounded.” The Coalition documented the death of 15 children and 34 adult men and the injury of 26 children, eight women and 93 young men as a result of the rebels bombardment of residential neighborhoods from time to time. The report stated that these causalities resulted in 298 orphans and dozens of widows. Violent conflict has also caused heavy losses in public and private owned properties. Some 53 of the properties that were seriously damaged included 39 houses, seven cars, two mosques and four schools. The Coalition urged all humanitarian organizations and concerned authorities to "carry out their moral and humanitarian responsibilities and end the suffering of the people in Taiz governorate,” stressing the need not to abandon them under difficult conditions that they have been living through the unfair war imposed on them for nearly three years now. In January, 42 families were forced to leave their homes east of Taiz after the area was subjected to intense and indiscriminate shelling, forcing them to resort to the homes of several host families in the central area.
