MARIB, Nov. 17 (YPA) – Several human rights organizations in the city of Marib accused on Thursday the International Organization for Migration (IOM) of mishandling African migrants.

“The IOM has gathered hundreds of African migrants inside a large walled yard, without any security and safety measures,” the organizations said in a statement.

The statement added that the stampede of immigrants caused the collapse of the wall of the yard, causing damage to citizens’ cars, which were parked next to the wall.

It called for the IMO compensating citizens for what happened to their cars, and improving conditions for migrants detained inside the yard.
