parliament of the disaster area

Subject: The humanitarian affairs in Saadah region


Dear Sir Madam,

Many thanks for your concern and visit to get
information; I would like to bring to your attention
about the sever humanitarian crisis that civilian in
Saadah suffer from, certainly I would like to focus on
the following points:

1- The government prohibiting corn and other beans and
foods from coming to the governorate

2- Prohibiting medication supplies and closing
pharmacies and clinics. More over using the republic
hospital and Alsalam hospital only for military and
winded from supporting people who fight with
government and arresting other civilians who come for
medication.

3- Prohibiting all kinds of energy supplies from
entering the governorate

4- Cutting the public electricity supply in all parts
of the governorate

5- cutting all telecommunication supplies, home land
phones, cell phones and internet

6- Banning civilians from selling their agriculture
production although it is their only recourse for
surviving, and confiscating their products in chick
points under the justifications that they are
supporters for Alhouthi

7- Providing soldiers with religious books that
describe us as disbelievers that deserve to be killed
and we have simples of these books

8- Forcing people to guest military soldiers and
using their homes to perform military actions
including firing heavy weapons from inside these homes
and making schools as military camps.

9- Indiscriminating arrest for large numbers of
civilians in Saadah and other governorate. Taking
these arrested people to unknown places. The arrest
includes religious scholars, religious guidelines,
religious teachers and innocent in general.

10- Continuous indiscriminating attacks with heavy
weapons including missiles, heavy cannons and others.
This leads to destroying homes while civilians are
inside it as what happened to the home of Gar Allah
Fardan in Altalh are when he was killed inside his
home with his two daughters in Altalh area. In
addition to confiscating properties from homes by
soldiers.

11- Continuous attacks especially air forces attacks
over cities and villages especially on the areas of
(All Alseefi), (Alhamazat), (lmahather), (Altalh),
(Bani Mouath), (Algomolah) and (Majz). In addition to
threatening to attacking areas that have not been
attacked yet. This leads to hundreds of families to
become displaced. They have been going suddenly to
deserts, mountain and caves with out covers, tents,
camps and any surviving supplies.

12- Assassinating number of social figures through
different means and claiming untruly that the
followers of Alhouthi are behind it in order o flame
tribal revenge as what happened to Dr. Ahmed Alagam
and Taha Alsaddi

13- Making pressure on heads o tribes to send their
tribes men to fight with the army in order to flame
tribal retaliation that will continue even after the
war.

14- Establishing units inside the army from Salfet
religious group that believe that we are disbelievers
and it is (according to their understanding of
religion) Ok to kill us, to take our property and it
is OK to rape our females an it is OK to take our
children as salves.

15- Forcing religious speakers to invite people to
join the army to fight and distributing publication
that encourage for that.

16- Pressuring the Association of the religious
guidelines to issue a religious testimony (Fatwa) that
legitimize fighting us and justified killing us. This
statement was published every where including official
media (radio, TV and newspapers). This statement was
published with out signatures and with out names.

17- There is credible news that confirms that there
are ten troops (ten military units) – with full
equipment- are in their way to the governorate from
different part of the country.

We are urging you to stand and speak loudly and do
every thing possible to stop the gross violations for
humanitarian roles and save civilians from another
genocide
