An Austrian newspaper revealed that Qatar is directly funding the Houthis in Yemen, according to Al Arabiya.

From time to time, many new evidence appears that prove Qatar's official involvement in dealing with the Houthi militia in Sana'a, and from this evidence, the Qatari authorities' practice of kidnapping and forcible deportation against Yemeni citizens.

In a memorandum issued by the head of the Yemeni community in Doha, in which he admitted that the Qatari authorities forcibly deported a Yemeni citizen, Hayat al-Baidani, with her child from Doha to Djibouti, at the request of the Houthi militia, even though the woman and her son were threatened with death.

The Yemeni government considered Qatar's dealings with the Houthis in violation of all international laws and norms and UN Security Council resolutions, and accused Doha of ignoring the continuous sacrifices of the Yemenis in the battle to restore the state and bring down the coup.
