International Migration Reveals Crimes Committed by US-Saudi Aggression North Sa’adah

 The International Organization for Migration revealed the killings of migrants at the hands of the Saudi border guards, north of Sa’adah Governorate.

It had verified nine separate incidents that led to the killing of 189 migrants and the serious injury of 535 migrants at the Yemeni-Saudi border with the northern Yemeni governorate of Sa’adah,” the organization said in a report.

The organization suggested that the number of victims as a result of Saudi forces targeting migrants with artillery, machine guns and live bullets is much more than that statistic.

The International Organization for Migration indicated that 7,000 Yemeni families, representing 43,000 individuals, have been displaced since the beginning of this year.

The Yemen Press Agency had published many crimes committed by the Saudi forces during the months of May and June against dozens of displaced Yemenis and Africans in “Nashaw” area in Jizan.

Various areas of the border districts in Sa’adah are  subjected to Saudi missile and artillery shelling, on a daily basis, resulting in heavy material losses.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and its other regional allies, launched a devastating war on Yemen in March 2015. The seven years and half of war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure. Yemeni people are facing malnutrition, hunger, and famine, which have increased risks of disease and starvation.

In light of its defeats on various frontlines and its failure to achieve any of its objectives, the US-Saudi aggression is notorious for its indiscrimination shown by its numerous attacks against densely-populated centers, including markets, hospitals, farms and schools.
