  If the famine is to be considered a genocide then yes, the Houthis are contributing to it as well. They steal aid and use it as a means to control the population in areas under their control. Their benefactor Iran also cynically hides weapons in food shipments which is why the naval blockade was put in place.
context: Iran has long denied arming the Houthis

  Why?  Interference in Yemen is centered around keeping Western and Saudi Arabian influence over their country leading to the worst humanitarian disaster in modern history.
  Why is France getting involved in what should be a domestic conflict, seizing weapons shipments to the Houthi rebels?
  Edit:  I guess Ukrainians deserve freedom more?  So its fine that 10s of million are starving, that the UN removed human rights monitoring and civilian casualties have doubled in their absence, and 100s of thousands are already dead, as long as the U.S. is profiting off of it everything can be swept under the rug. >
  
  When one country arms another I think you can stop calling it domestic.
  If anything, actually, seizing this would keep it more domestic by limiting outside influence. Iran is denying these are theirs and Ukraine could use the weapons so sounds like donating it is a perfect solution. >

  DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - French naval forces in January seized thousands of assault rifles, machine guns and anti-tank missiles in the Gulf of Oman coming from Iran and heading to Yemen's Houthi rebels, officials said Thursday.
  Iran has long denied arming the Houthis, though Western nations, UN experts and others have traced weaponry ranging from night-vision scopes, rifles and missiles back to Tehran.
  In November, the US Navy said it found 70 tons of a missile fuel component hidden among bags of fertilizer aboard a ship bound to Yemen from Iran.

  Yeah... I'm a bit miffed about this. I know the rebels (and Iran) are a bad bunch but could we also seize the weapons given to the Saudis so they stop culling and starving Yemen? As far as I know, the Saudis are about as bad as the rebels... >
  
  The rebels aren't causing a genocide. The Saudis, well...
