Coalition’s fresh military escalation on Marib forces 5,000 families to flee homes

Air and military attacks being escalated by the Saudi-led coalition on Marib city have forced five thousand families to flee their homes.

In a press statement issued by a branch of the Supreme Council for the Management and Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Response in Marib province condemned the air escalation by the coalition forces on Marib city, which caused the displacement of thousands of civilians and damage to public and private property.

Over 1,500 airstrikes by the coalition for the past three months on Marib have destroyed service projects, and public and private properties and exacerbated the suffering of thousands of civilians.

It pointed out that the latest crime of aggression was targeting a large truck carrying local gas on the main road, which led to destroying the truck and the death of its driver, in a dangerous indicator aimed at targeting public life and elements of livelihood of citizens.

The Council called on humanitarian and international organizations to provide aid to the displaced and affected families, and alleviate their suffering in light of the continued escalation of the aggression.
