The Houthi forces in Yemen started haggling with the relatives of the people whose drugs they were smuggling and selling that were contaminated.
Local sources in Sana’a indicated that the militia leaders contacted the families of the children who died due to the contaminated medicine, and warned them against resorting to the judiciary, stressing that this would not be in their favor.
According to the reports, the militia also promised to pay the relatives of individuals who contracted tainted leukaemia money and salaries similar to those paid to those who were slain in exchange for dropping and dismissing the case.
According to information, Taha Al-Mutawakkil, a close ally of Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, the head of the Houthi Ministry of Health, is attempting to cover up his involvement in the trafficking of illegal medications and tainted, out-of-date medical goods.
In order to stop the leakage of his responsibility, Al-Mutawakkil fired Muhammad Abdullah Al-Ghlyi, the head of the pharmaceutical body, which infuriated many of the authority’s employees who believed that their work was innocent and that he was following the directives of the Minister of Health, who was and still oversees all of the Pharmaceutical Authority’s activities.
It is significant that the Houthi militia admitted, three weeks after the catastrophe, that only “10” cancer-related deaths had occurred as a result of the youngsters receiving smuggled and outdated medications.
While the tragedy was met with wide popular discontent, amid charges of Houthi supervisor of involvement, in conjunction with information that confirmed that the number of deaths reached more than 18 children out of about 50 injections of corrupt drug..
