Houthis enlarge tax efforts for arms
The Houthi group has launched a new campaign to raise funds from residents and business owners in Sana'a, claiming the funds are for financing their armed forces. Their members distributed empty packages to homes and shops to be filled with financial donations. This campaign comes amid worsening economic conditions, with rising poverty levels and declining purchasing power. The Houthis are increasingly relying on levies to fund their activities after traditional sources of income have diminished. The group is exerting heavy pressure on the population to pay these donations, with warnings of fines for those who refuse, which worsens the suffering of poor families and further deteriorates living conditions in areas under their control.
