The Houthi Movement celebrated their killed members by inaugurating new graveyards, decorating their tombs and holding a photo exhibition in Sanaa and other strongholds thus revealing their great losses.
The exhibitions actually showed that the Houthis lost thousands of their fighters. Although the Houthi Movement refuses to acknowledge these losses, unofficial sources estimated that 50,000 Houthis were killed or injured last year.

The Arab coalition spokesperson had said that the Houthis lost around 11,000 members in just three months last year during confrontations with the army and as a result of the coalition’s airstrikes.
According to media sources, the Houthis allocated 50 billion Yemen rials for establishing new graveyards and photo exhibitions during their annual celebration The Martyr’s Week.
Photos of their dead commanders were hanged across Sanaa and other Houthi strongholds and dozens of new cemeteries were inaugurated in Sanaa, Dhamar, Hajjah, Raymah and Ibb after forced merchants and shop owners were forced to give them money to fund them.
