US-Saudi Airstrikes Hit Quarantine Center, Undermining Coronavirus Containment Efforts

The Higher Committee for Combating Epidemics strongly condemned the US-Saudi aggression’s targeting of quarantine centers to combat the coronavirus.

The committee said in a statement that aerial aggression launched a raid near the quarantine center at Al-Mahjabah School in Afar of Al-Baidha province and another raid near the quarantine of locomotive drivers’ area near Afar.

The committee noted that these raids come as part of the coalition’s efforts to introduce the coronavirus to Yemen, in which no cases were recorded to date.

The statement pointed out that the coalition warplanes had previously launched raids near the quarantine in Al-Salif of Hodeidah province, indicating that the multiplication of flights by the aggression countries and their recruits during the last period and their continus opening ports, deporting Yemenis from Saudi Arabia and other countries is part of the coalition’s plans to introduce the virus to Yemen.
