The Houthi militia looted and sold the house of the citizen Yahya Droubi, in the city of Hodeidah, after he was forcibly displaced the militia, and fled to the capital, Aden.
The Houthis sold abandoned homes in the city of Hodeidah, which their owners left and fled to the liberated areas in search of safety and a livelihood.
There are tens of thousands of Hodeidah residents, like Droubi, who left their homes and livelihoods, fleeing the death that the Houthis brought to the city, after it was transformed by the Iranian arm into military barracks.
Droubi, a resident of Hodeidah, recounts that Houthi elements confiscated his house in the Zayed neighborhood in the city center, and sold it by force and the neighbors' inability to stop the sale.
Droubi added that his house is worth no less than 60 million riyals, which he inherited from his father, and is located on the main street of the neighborhood, and it is the only thing that he own, and because of the war, he was forced to move with his family to Aden.
He indicated that he had received a call a few months ago from one of his neighbors, urging him to return to his home in the city of Hodeidah, before it was sold by the Houthis, and he told him that the arm of Iran is selling abandoned homes.
He said, "I didn't care about my neighbors' advice, and I couldn't believe or imagine that would happen."
The Houthi militia practices widespread looting in the city of Hodeidah and the directorates of the governorate under its control, for public and private funds, endowment lands, and citizens' homes.
During the past two years, Hodeidah witnessed the largest wave of displacement of residents distributed over a number of Yemeni governorates, due to the violations of the Houthi militia and the denial of various services.
