New accusations from the United Nations, directed against the terrorist Houthi militias, regarding their responsibility for the deterioration of living conditions in new documentation, which many believe must be completed by taking measures against the militias.

The accusation was contained in the report of the UN Security Council Group of Experts on Yemen, which held the Iranian-backed Houthi militia responsible for the deterioration of the economic and humanitarian conditions in Yemen, and for obstructing efforts to achieve peace and end the war. It also accused the militias of harnessing huge resources for military purposes.

The report, which covers the period from September 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024, indicates that since mid-November 2023, regular threats and attacks launched by Houthi militias on ships sailing through the Red Sea have caused disruption to international trade and the local economy.

The attacks led to an increase in shipping and insurance costs and a delay in the arrival of goods to Yemen, which in turn translated into an increase in the prices of various commodities, especially basic commodities, according to the report.

The experts also stated, in their report submitted to the Security Council, that the continued ban imposed by the Houthi militias on the export of crude oil caused a loss of revenues of 43%, which led to a decline in the value of the local currency and a sharp rise in inflation rates.

This also affected the government's ability to provide the people with basic services such as paying salaries, providing electricity, water, and education.

In addition, the Houthi militias' tampering with the economy - as the report says - has affected government institutions, which they exploited to finance their military purposes and activities.

The Houthi militias have adopted a number of illegal measures to create significant resources for their military purposes, and have exploited their control over the communications sector and schools in areas under their control to request funds from the population in order to strengthen their air power through drones and coastal defense.

These accusations, which hold the Houthi militias responsible for the deterioration of living conditions, for which the South pays directly, require that they be followed by necessary pressure measures against the militias that put an end to the crimes of this faction.

It has become necessary for the international community, while it is active in documenting Houthi crimes, to move to a more vital stage in terms of pressuring the militias by punishing them for their crimes.

The inevitability of this is due to the crimes committed by the Houthi militias causing millions of residents to incur a horrific humanitarian cost based on the deterioration of the living situation at an unprecedented rate
