Aden, Jumada I 16, 1438, Feb 13, 2017, SPA -- The issue of planting "antipersonnel" landmines in Yemen constitutes a major challenge for the Yemeni government, led by President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, after Houthis have left in all governorates from which they were expelled, thousands of mines of all types whether "anti-vehicles (anti-tanks) or anti-personnel" have already claimed the lives of many innocent and prevented the return of those displaced by the coup militias from their villages due to their encircling by the internationally banned mines. In contrast to these Houthi crimes, King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid is exerting great and effective efforts to support and establish injuries and prosthetic rehabilitation centers, as well as psychological support for victims of mines, most of them children and women. According to reports of international and Yemeni domestic organizations, militias of Al-Houthi and ousted Saleh are directly involved in the violation of the laws of war, by planting anti-personnel mines, which caused the killing of dozens of civilians and preventing a lot of people who have been displaced by the bloody conflicts with the coup militias, from returning back to their villages after the roads leading to them were disrupted because of the proliferation of mines laid by militias of Houthi and the ousted that don't discriminate among their victims and they are hard to be demined over time. In this context, the organization of Human Rights Watch said that it has proved more than five cases of people inflicted with deformities due to anti-personnel mines in Taiz since March 2016, including a man who was returning to his home with his brother after months of displacement from their village, which was controlled by Houthi militias. Houthi mines are scattered in southern and eastern governorates of Yemen: Aden, Abyan, Marib, Lahj and Taiz since the beginning of their coup against the legitimate government, a matter of utmost attention and great concern to Arab coalition's countries to support the legitimacy in Yemen and to the regional and international countries and they call on all international and regional organizations and those concerned to remove the mines, treat and rehabilitate their victims, and intensify their efforts and initiatives in Yemen. Arab coalition forces to support legitimacy in Yemen are working to help the national army to clean up the sites targeted by the Houthi militias by planting anti-personnel mines, and to secure the roads in which they planted scores of anti-personnel mines to prevent their beneficiaries from using. A Governmental Organization said that the landmines have killed so far at least 18 people and injured more than 39 others in areas of Taiz Governorate between May 2015 and April 2016. Medical personnel and Yemenis working in the clearance of mines, according to a report made by Human Rights Watch, said the real number of landmine victims in Taiz was higher than above mentioned." In June 2016, a doctor said that he treated more than 50 people in Taiz exposed to some amputation acts since April 2016, and believed to be injured by landmines. For his part, the former governor of Al-Jawf Hussein Awadi said that he believed that the rebels had planted more than 30 thousand mines with varied sizes in the Governorate. He said in a press statement that the minefields had an impact in slowing the movement of National Army and Popular Resistance to complete restoring the control of all directorates of the Governorate. He pointed out that local authorities are now seeking to open the main road for the general people in order to avoid unpaved roads where Houthis are planting large quantities of mines. King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid is carrying out its projects to help the people of Yemen in order to find a way out of the crisis, including supporting rehabilitation of injuries and artificial body parts centers, already carried out by the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) with an amount of more than $ 10 million in addition to Medical and Therapeutic Aid . --SPA --More 16:35 LOCAL TIME 13:35 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w331436
