The Houthi militias, iran's arm in Yemen, have turned the case of patients suspected of being infected with MERS-CoV into a case for trading with international organizations.
Medical and local sources in the capital Sanaa told Newsyemen that Houthi militias had refused to return the bodies of a number of dead people in hospitals and held them there on the grounds that the deceased had died of the coronavirus.
The sources said: Some of the people who were admitted to hospitals and have some symptoms similar to those of MERS-CoV died in the hospitals of Kuwait and Zayed, which were allocated by the militias to deal with cases suspected of contracting the virus Coved19, and that the militias detained their bodies and refused to return them to their families for burial, while refusing to inform them of the real causes of death or give them medical reports confirming that the cause of death was the infection of the coronavirus.
The sources added, that the insistence of the Houthi militias to bury the bodies of many of the deceased who arrive in hospitals in the capital and are transferred to the hospitals of Zayed and Kuwait because of symptoms similar to the symptoms of infection with the corona virus is due to the fact that the militias are carrying out the process of burying the bodies of these deceased on the pretext that they are infected with Corona and that they receive money from international organizations in return as part of the assistance provided to them to face the corona virus.
Since the beginning of Ramadan, citizens in the capital have complained that Houthi militias have detained the bodies of their dead and refused to inform them or give them reports of the real causes of death and that the militias are content to tell them that they have died as a result of corona and that they will bury them for fear of spreading the virus to those who will bury them.
Medical sources have shown that some organizations provide cash assistance to militias under the pretext of confronting the coronavirus, including support for burials in accordance with the safety standards, which is behind the insistence of the militias to trade the bodies of many of the deceased with diseases other than the coronavirus.
This comes at a time when militias continue to pursue a policy of secrecy, concealment and secrecy in dealing with hiv-infected cases and limiting themselves to some precautionary measures, including the sterilization of some streets or the quarantine of some neighborhoods where suspected cases appear.
