RIYADH, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- The Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen accused on Monday the Houthi militias of hindering the arrival of humanitarian aids through Hodeidah port, Al Arabiya TV reported.

Turki al-Maliki, the coalition spokesman, told a press conference that the Hodeidah port has been clear of ships for the past three days as they were denied entry by Houthi militias.

He affirmed that 14 permits had been issued for ships heading to Yemeni ports.

According to al-Maliki, the coalition has rescued 102 children recruited by Houthi militias and rehabilitated them, highlighting the involvement of the coalition in the war against al-Qaida and the Islamic State in Yemen.

The coalition has been involved in the Yemen crisis for the last three years in support of the Yemeni exiled government.
