Dozens of people were killed and injured in a crowd surge in the Houthi terrorist-controlled Sana'a city late Wednesday, local sources and eyewitnesses have said.
The sources said hundreds of people were crowding in a rare alms distribution event in Sana'a when Houthi militiamen on military patrol cars came to stop the charity event and scared the crowd away causing 78 people to be crushed to death and 150 to be injured.
The foreign-backed militia ban all forms of charity distributions in the capital city and demand that donors pay the money to the militia's self-styled Zakat (Religious Tax) Department to convey it to the poor.
Fearing the militia's crackdown and lacking trust in them as an aid distribution intermediary, alms givers in Sana'a have mostly stopped distributing charities altogether.
