Houthi missile hit on camp for displaced people

Human rights activist Ghaleb al-Qadmi points out that the Hays district of Hodeidah is the worst hit by the Huthi bombing. "I and many of the residents of this city expect at any moment that a missile will fall on our heads," said human rights activist Ghaleb al-Qadmi.
