COMMITTEE URGES REFUGEES TO HEAD TO CAMPS, SAFE CORRIDORS MADE

SANA'A, Oct. 13 (Saba) – The Supreme Security Committee has called
on the displaced from the clashes between the army and the Houthi
rebels in the north to head for four camps it had allocated for
them, saying safe corridors have been made.

Within the government's efforts and in response to calls for
providing safe corridors for the refugees in Saada and Amran, the
committee has urged the refugees in the Harf Sufyan district, Amran,
to head to the Khaiwan Camp, the refugees in the districts of Razeh,
Shada'a, Hidan and Ghamr, Saada, to head to the Almezraq Camp in the
Almalaheedh district, a spokesman for the committee said.

The committee also called on the refugees in the districts of Baqim,
Qataber and Manbah, Saada, to head for the Alib Camp, and the
refugees in the districts of Sahar and Saqain, Saada, to head for
the Saada City and Sam and Ehsa'a Camps.

He added the committee would provide the refugees with care,
protection and aid to enable them to reach the camps.

The spokesman, however, held the Houthi rebels responsible for
blocking the refugees from going to the displaced camps, holding
them and using them as human shields as well as planting landmines
in the roads to block aid from reaching the affected.

The insurgents, supported by Iran, have recently started to use the
people as in Saada and Amran as human shield when military
operations intensified against them.

They also planted landmines in roads killing the people and blocking
aid and relief agencies form reaching the affected by a sixth war
that started in August.

The Houthi followers, who seek to restore imamate rule, have been
fighting the troops since 2004, but the battles within the recent
war are deemed the fiercest and the deadliest for the rebels.

Hundreds of rebels have been killed, wounded and arrested. Many
others have surrendered to the army.

Recently a former Houthi leader revealed that the rebels, stationing
in Saada and some parts of neighboring Amran, had plans to expand to
Hajja and Mareb.

The leader also said that they received Iranian and Hezbollah
material support and training. He talked about
