Human Rights Ministry: US-Saudi Aggression on Yemen Carried out Thousands of Military Attacks on Residential Buildings

Ministry of Human Rights confirmed on Wednesday that the US-Saudi aggression carried out thousands of military attacks by air, sea and land on residential buildings for civilians covered by international protection.

During a press conference, the Ministry explained that the aggression has caused the displacement of more than six million citizens to separate areas inside Yemen.

It indicated that the aggression completely and partially destroyed more than 537 hospitals and health facilities, targeted 92 ambulances, and destroyed two pharmaceutical and oxygen factories.

The aggression completely destroyed more than 435 schools and partially destroyed more than 1,578, as well as more than 45 public and private universities and colleges, and more than 74 technical institutes.

The Ministry of Human Rights indicated that the aggression destroyed more than 51 audio-visual and print media institutions, and more than 28 radio and television transmission centers were destroyed or damaged.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, claiming the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power.

The US-Saudi aggression continues to target neighborhoods and populated areas and destroy the infrastructure and capabilities of the country, in light of a suspicious international silence.

The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
