Under all that, Houthi forces are escalating their constant violations to ob- struct all efforts, international agreements, and decisions with clear and de- clared Iranian support.They are provided with weapons, ballistic missiles, and drones through the land and seaports and Yemeni beaches. The situation is the same as the violations and abuses committed by the legitimate govern- ment forces, the militia of Islah, and the Popular Mobilization Forces against the civilians in Shabwa and Taiz governorates. From the end of 2018, the number of military operations and hostilities car- ried out by Houthi groups increased in all frontal areas in Al-Dhalea, Al-Jawf, Marib, Hodaidah, and the southern border areas of Al-Bayda governorate. 6 Civilians without protection and crimes without punishment Also, the pace of escalation increased with the launch of ballistic missiles on the cities, facilities, and airports of Saudi Arabia, southern cities, Marib, and Al-Hodaidah is a clear trend to hinder peace efforts and prolong the war in order to achieve their goals of the sectarian baseline project and the Iranian expansion project agenda in the region. As war is entering its sixth year, the complexities of the crisis are interfering with it. Humanitarian and living conditions are also exacerbated to a degree that is difficult to imagine in a country known to be one of the poorest coun- tries in the world according to indicators and reports of the United Nations. The CNMDHR presents its second annual report on human rights viola- tions, which is a cumulative report and focuses on concerns related to viola- tions of international law, international humanitarian law and the situation of human rights in southern governorates, in particular, and in some areas of the west coast of Taiz and Al Hodaidah governorates. Under the increasing cases of violation of the repeated attacks carried out by Houthi forces, the militia of Ekhwan, terrorist groups affiliated to the Islah Party, and the forces of the legitimate government against civilians, espe- cially in Dhalea, Shabwa, Taiz and Hodaidah, targeting all aspects of the life such as killing, arresting, kidnapping, concealment, torture, forced displace- ment, and Systematic destruction of cities and villages, infrastructure, health and educational facilities, places of worship and cultural and historical ob- jects, mine-planting in roads and public places, and restrictions on freedom of opinion and expression, and the pursuit of journalists and human rights activists, and other violations. 7 Civilians without protection and crimes without punishment The report provides cumulative figures and evidences, documenting the hu- man rights situation that were monitored and documented by a number of member organizations of the network, covering the period (March 26, 2015 until December 31, 2019), that period preceded the establishment of the net- work in December 2018. This was followed by the control of Houthi in Sana’a, the military and secu- rity institutions, and economic institutions. Besides, they besieged the presi- dent and prime minister, declared war and general mobilization to invade southern governorates. Where Houthi forces, the army, and the Republican Guards of former presi- dent Saleh committed serious violations and crimes, that rise to the level of war crimes and crimes against humanity, under the Rome Statute adopted in Rome on 17 July 1998 and the fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 con- cerning the protection of civilians in times of war, including the targeting of civilians, detention, kidnapping, enforced disappearance and torture, and the indiscriminate bombing of homes, villages and cities inhabited by civilian population, civil and historical property. They used all types of heavy, medium and light weapons, including forbid- den ballistic missiles, and the deliberate use of civilians as human shields, and the destruction of roads, bridges, pumps, water tanks, and artesian wells, destruction of vital infrastructure and basic services and facilities necessary for life of the population. They were targeting educational and health facili- ties, ambulance crews, medical vehicles, mosques and places of worship. They and imposed a blockade on the residents of the areas they control, prevented the arrival of relief teams, humanitarian and medical

    YEMEN Outlook for July-December 2019 Risk Overview – 31 July 2019 Purpose The Yemen Risk Overview is a risk identification report published every six months outlining the main emerging risks in Yemen that might affect the current humanitarian situation (6-month forecast). It aims to inform the humanitarian community of possible changes in context and humanitarian needs in Yemen, in order to facilitate contingency planning, risk management, and response. ACAPS regularly tracks these and other risks for Yemen and will publish alerts and updates as things change. Reliability The report is based on primary data, joint analysis, and secondary data review conducted from May to July 2019. Yet, context changes quickly in Yemen and there are gaps in information on vulnerable groups, coping strategies and response. Sources: ACAPS / powered by iMMAP Any questions?
