Saudi airstrikes kill at least 10 civilians in three crimes in one day

At least 10 children were killed between children and women when US-Saudi warplanes carried out a series of air strikes on residential areas in Sanaa and the northwestern province of Saada.

Saudi fighter aircraft carried out air strikes against a petrol station in 60th Street west of Sanaa, killing 4 civilians among women with their babies and wounding 10 civilians among children

In Saada, under pressure from the Riyadh regime in a brutal bombing campaign against its southern neighbor, Saudi military aircraft carried out air raids on a subway, killing three children and wounding 15 civilians, in addition to killing one child, two children and two men.

The head of the Yemeni Council for Rights and Freedoms, Ali Ali al-Mu’tasim, said at a press conference this week that Saada province has been subjected to the worst crimes and abuses committed by the Saudi-led coalition, adding “seventy massacres committed by the Saudi-led coalition over three years of aggression against Yemen.”

“8000 were killed and wounded in Sa’ada, in addition to the destruction of 51 health centers and hospital, in addition to 267 schools and 84 generators and electricity station also,” she added.
Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition announced a military attack on the western coast of the country, “Hodeidah”. As a result, tens of thousands of people fled the front line, according to a statement by Amnesty International’s senior crisis response adviser last week.
In a statement read by a press release in Geneva on Friday, Mark Laucouck, the United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator, expressed concern over the decline in food imports to Yemen amid restrictions imposed by the Saudi regime.

“I am particularly concerned about the recent decline in commercial food imports through the Red Sea ports,” said Mark Lubbock, warning that 10 million more Yemenis could face starvation by the end of the year
Lukok said imports of food and commercial fuel were “far below pre-blockade levels”. “If conditions do not improve, another 10 million people will fall into this category by the end of the year,” he said.
Confidence among commercial shippers has fallen due to delays, “including as a result of the inspections carried out by the Saudi-led coalition after the United Nations removed these ships,” said Leuk, referring to the UN verification system.

He also called on the government of former Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to “take active steps to promote commercial imports of food, fuel and humanitarian supplies across all Yemeni ports.”

In one of the deadliest air strikes, Saudi warplanes last month targeted a wedding in Hajjah several times, killing nearly 50 people and injuring 55 others. Saudi aircraft also carried out raids on ambulances transporting injured people to local hospitals

Saudi Arabia and its allies launched a war against Yemen in March 2015. The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights said in a statement on March 25 that the Saudi-led war had left 600,000 dead and wounded until then.
