A Russian national reported that a man and a woman working for a relief organization visited the building where journalist Abdullah Sabri lived three days before he was hit by an air strike.
Dr. Shams al-Nuaimi told The Russia Today Arabic-language channel: “Neighbors told us that a man and a woman from a relief organization came to the building asking about its residents and they were looking for a journalist who worked for a media outlet affiliated with (the Houthis), and three days after they came the building was bombed by an air strike.
Shams al-Nuaimi, a Russian national and her family, recently arrived in Moscow after the Russian Foreign Ministry intervened to evacuate them from Yemen.
According to her husband, Awsan Beleid, who told the channel the aftermath of the Saudi coalition airstrike on al-Raqas neighborhood in the capital Sanaa in mid-May 2019.
Shams, who was injured in the raid, said: ” We have lost everything in this fierce war waged by the Saudi-led coalition and we were going to lose our lives.”
“We miraculously survived and were freed from the rubble, but the traces of shrapnel and burns still fill our bodies, ” she added.
“But the building is inhabited by families near a school, and this does not justify the brutal bombing and the killing of innocent people,” she said. It’s terrible and inhumane.
On the 11th of Ramadan, the coalition targeted al-Raqas residential neighborhood in an air strike that killed and injured dozens, including four children from the same family.
The criminal investigation report issued by the Interior Ministry revealed that the center of the rocket explosion that hit the building of Hajj Hassan al-Ezi was in the apartment where journalist Abdullah Sabri and his family live.
This confirms the deliberate targeting, contrary to the claim made by the coalition spokesman, who claimed at the time that the raid was a mistake.
