The Ministry of Human Rights condemned the horrific crime committed by the US-Saudi aggression in which it targeted Afar customs center in Al-Baidha Governorate, it is a major center for the flow of goods.

In a statement the Ministry stated that the airstrike resulted in injuring three civilians, destroying the compound building and burning more than 11 commercial locomotives loaded with basic merchandise and materials. It stated that targeting this place is concerned as a war crime against humanity in accordance with international humanitarian law, international human rights law and criminal law. It pointed out that this crime and other crimes confirm the lack of credibility of the declared ceasfire, by the US-Saudi aggression.

The Ministry confirmed in a statement that the United Nations has been informed of the coordinates of the main Afar customs, and it is also a major center for medical quarantine as part of the precautionary measures to combat the Corna virus. It also considered that declaration to be fraud and misleading of the world’s view of the aggression against Yemen. It is distracting the world from the criminal acts and massacres committed against Yemen and its people.

The Ministry held the United Nations, its bodies and organizations and the envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, responsible for their continued disregard of all crimes and violations committed by the aggression against the Yemeni people, infrastructure and their capabilities.
