Human Rights Condemns Saudi Crime, Targeting Seven Civilians, Including Immigrants, in Munabbih
The Ministry of Human Rights condemned the horrific crime committed by the Saudi army, killing seven civilians, including four immigrants, in Munabbih border district in the Sa’adah governorate.
The Ministry of Human Rights indicated in a statement that the aggression’s bombing of the border areas does target military operations, but rather targets civilians.
In a statement the Ministry stated that targeting civilians in these areas is 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 ceasefire, by the US-Saudi aggression.
The Ministry called on the international community to stop the crimes of the coalition of aggression and the Saudi regime against the Yemeni people.
Various areas of the border districts in Sa’adah are subjected to Saudi missile and artillery shelling, on a daily basis, resulting in heavy material losses.
Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and its other regional allies, launched a devastating war on Yemen in March 2015. The seven years and half of war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure. Yemeni people are facing malnutrition, hunger, and famine, which have increased risks of disease and starvation.
In light of its defeats on various frontlines and its failure to achieve any of its objectives, the US-Saudi aggression is notorious for its indiscrimination shown by its numerous attacks against densely-populated centers, including markets, hospitals, farms and schools.
