Houthis Exploit Poverty
The Houthis allocated about $9.34 million—more than 5.4 billion Yemeni rials—to food, health and cash assistance programs, as well as empowerment projects targeting the families of their slain, wounded and missing members, as part of “Martyr’s Week” events. The allocations included $3.36 million for food baskets and $2.61 million for symbolic gifts. Observers say the aid is being used to win over poor families, strengthen their loyalty and mobilize them. This comes amid continued salary suspensions for public employees and the deprivation of millions of Yemenis of food, medical care and basic services, highlighting the disparity between support for fighters’ families and the suffering of the rest of the population.
