The political analyst Abdulghani al-Iryani affirmed that this tax is: "an illegal levy, mostly extortion that is not determined by the law and the amount is at the discretion of the field commanders".
The report criticized Saudi-led airstrikes and accused parties of conflict of inlawful violations such as "deprivation of the right to life, arbitrary detention, rape, torture, enforced disappearances and child recruitment".
Several UN staff members and Arab diplomats were also evacuated following the airstrikes.
