The official spokesman of the Ministry of Public Health and Population, Dr. Yousef Al-Hadhari, on Sunday called on the International Red Cross to assume its legal and humanitarian responsibility and move its emergency crews to evacuate the dead and wounded under the destroyed houses.

In a statement, Al-Hadhari called on the International Red Cross to assume its legal and humanitarian responsibility and move its emergency crews to recover the dead and wounded under the destroyed house which the coalition’s airstrikes targeted in the center of the Kshar district and the flight prevents local paramedics from approaching the place of crime committed on Sunday.

He stressed that 12 wounded , most of them children were rushed to the hospital of Qafla-Ghader and then to the hospitals in the capital Sanaa and remained a child, who did not exceed the year in the hospital after he lost all his family in the crime committed by the coalition’s warplanes.

The raids and massacres against civilians committed by the Saudi-led coalition in the district of-Kushar come in retaliation from the citizens who rejected the subversive elements that the aggression brought to the district and even supported these elements through air-dropping packages of weapons and ammunition a number of seven times in order in an attempt to help these elements in achieving any victories, but they failed to achieve any.
