Thousands of Civilians Displaced Due to Escalation of US-Saudi Raids on Marib

Officials in Ma’rib Governorate condemned the escalation of the US-Saudi aggression, in which it increased its air strikes on the governorate, driving the displacement of thousands of civilians and damaging public and private property.

The officials said in a statement that more than a thousand and 500 raids were recorded in the past months, which caused great damage to public and public facilities and properties.

The statement indicated that the last crime of US-Saudi aggression was targeted a gas locomotive on the highway, which led to killing its driver, in a dangerous indicator of the aggression’s attempt to target everything including civilians.

The officials called on humanitarian and international organizations to provide relief to the displaced and affected families, and alleviate their severe suffering in light of the escalation of aggression and the entry of the winter season.

They also called on the Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs in Yemen and the UN envoy to put pressure on the coalition of aggression to stop targeting populated villages, markets and public roads, as they are civilian objects that criminalize international laws and humanitarian norms.
