On Monday, December 2, 2024, dozens of injured and disabled individuals gathered outside the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor office in Marib province, northeastern Yemen, to demand reforms within the National Association for the Injured and Disabled.

The protesters submitted a formal petition to the office, expressing concerns that the association's leadership fails to address the "demands, aspirations, and needs" of the injured and disabled. They accused the leadership of mismanaging funds collected on behalf of the members, with unclear accountability for the financial resources.

The injured individuals are calling on the relevant authorities to intervene swiftly to facilitate the re-election of a new leadership that genuinely represents all injured and disabled persons. They also demand the formation of an official committee to inventory the association's assets and clarify the fate of the funds raised in their name.
