Tens of the population in Yemen's western port city of Hodeida staged a protest after the Friday prayer and demanded the Houthi militants to stop extrajudicial arrests and illegal acts.
They called for an immediate release of activists and journalists from the Tahama town who had been arrested during anti-Houthi expansion and violence protests, locals said.
Moreover, they urged the militants to leave Hodeida, stop confiscation of fuel supplies and help address the challenges of the local population who have been facing deteriorating services including long power outages and garbage dumped on streets.
Many Yemeni cities including the capital Sanaa have been suffering from dumping garbage on streets amid continued absence of services due to fuel shortages and violence.
Officials in Sanaa said garbage vehicles have been stopped because of the lack of fuels.
Yemen has been experiencing lacks of fuels, foods and medicines for more than one month. The lacks are blamed on violence after the Houthi militants ousted the transition president and government as well as a blockade on all ports by the Arab coalition.
The Saudi-led coalition launched a military operation against the Houthis on March 26. The blockade was part of the operation and has affected all imports leaving the Yemeni population to face the worst lacks of supplies.
Though aid has started to flow into the country after a five-day humanitarian ceasefire began on May 12, shortages persist amid reports no sufficient aid has come through and that the Houthi militants have confiscated most of the aid for their battles.
