The Marib Court of First Instance summoned Dr. Abdulqader Al-Kharraz, On Monday as a result of his exposing the corruption of NOGs and international donor organizations working in Yemen, on charges for defaming.

Dr. Kharraz, who leads of the (Where is the money) campaign, told Khabar Agency that he attended at the request of the Marib Court, but he was surprised that the one who brought the case against him, Ra'afat Al-Akhali (ex-minister of Youth and Sports) was not there.

Dr. Al-Kharraz described the trial procedures as positive, which will be characterized by transparency, especially after the court approved his request to allow the media to cover the sessions.

The United Nations raised around $1.2 billion on Monday to deliver aid this year to millions of people going hungry in war-ravaged Yemen, amid hopes that a fragile truce could foster a lasting peace.

The figure was far short of the $4.3 billion sought from donors at a pledging conference in Geneva, but the UN hoped the figure could reach $2 billion by the end of the week.

Since the start of the war in Yemen, about eight donor conferences have been held to finance the humanitarian response plans put forward by the United Nations and implemented through its humanitarian agencies, and they have been funded by more than twenty billion dollars. However, the fate of these funds remains a mystery known only to officials of relief agencies and groupers of corruption on both sides of the conflict.

Yemeni activists asking where previous funds gone.

"Cases of NGO corruption and those associated with them will be investigated and held accountable". Yemeni activist Dr Abdulqader Alkharraz said. "God willing, the corrupt rule will fall soon".
