Sana'a – June 2025 The Houthi Militians in Yemen has seized all assets and properties belonging to the international organization Save the Children, following the organization's decision to shut down its offices and suspend operations in areas under Houthi control. The move has sparked widespread concern among humanitarian circles both locally and internationally.

According to informed sources, the confiscated assets include medical equipment, vehicles, electronics, medications, security infrastructure, and office furnishings, with an estimated total value of $4 million. The raids were reportedly carried out under the direct supervision of Houthi leaders, targeting the organization’s offices in Sana'a, Hodeidah, Ibb, Saada, Hajjah, and Amran.

Save the Children had recently announced the termination of contracts for over 400 local employees and the closure of its offices, citing increasing restrictions imposed by the Houthis that hindered the implementation of its humanitarian programs—particularly those related to child health, education, and protection in conflict-affected areas.

As of now, the Houthi leadership has not issued an official statement regarding the seizures.
