While the Houthi militia is racing to impose new financial levies and royalties on citizens in its areas of control, after looting the salaries of employees, pensions, and resources of local authorities, the rain in the capital, Sanaa, threatens to drop a number of city bridges.

In this context, engineers and experts warned of the imminent collapse of the bridge of the "Mathbah" - 60th Street - New University, Moein District, due to the erosion of concrete and concrete bases affected by heavy rains and torrential flows in the area during the past few days.

According to local sources, several cracks appeared on the bases of the bridge, after the continuous rain water leakage into the bases and the transformation of the perimeter of the bridge into a water lake, warning that the continuation of this threatens the collapse.

The neglect of the restoration of the bridges and the damage caused by the rain comes while the authorities of the capital, Sana'a, controlled by the Houthi militia, claim to discuss what it described (the investment projects plan for the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first half of this year).

According to official news in Sanaa, the alleged plan revealed the allocation of an amount (one billion and 943 million riyals) in the maintenance and paving of dilapidated roads in the departments of the capital.

In a public meeting of officials of the capital, it was remarkable that Hamoud Abbad - appointed as the capital's secretary - was keen to urge "the executive offices to work according to a mechanism for developing local resources and searching for other resources according to the vessels stipulated in the law and the constitution."

Abbad praised "the role of the executive offices that achieved an increase in revenues, stressing the offices whose revenues declined and failed to double their efforts and enhance the level of performance and avoid deficiencies."
