Activists circulated a video on social media showing the disabled patient, "Hassan Ali Saleh al-Jalbaa," who is in a wheelchair because he fell while working digging a well, complaining about his detention for the seventh month in a row in the Arab Private Hospital because of his family's inability to pay the costs of the operation and treatment.

In the circulating video, the patient appears, saying that his family paid one million riyals for the cost of his treatment, and sold everything they had. However, the hospital is holding him and his mother on the fifth floor, in room 508, to force them to pay the remaining money they owe from the hospital's treatment bill.

He pointed out that the hospital daily adds sums of money to them, the burdens of residence, which led to an increase in the debts of the detained patient and his mother to seven million riyals, or the equivalent of 14 thousand dollars.

The detention of the young man, "Hassan al-Jalaba" and his mother, was widely resented by activists and human rights activists, who demanded the Houthi de facto authority in Sana'a, concerned with paying the sums or pressuring the hospital administration to exempt them instead of detaining them, taking into account their difficult living conditions.
