ِA New Saudi War Crime

The warplanes bombed Alaf bazaar in Sahar region in Sa’ada province in Northwestern Yemen this morning, killing 26 civilians and wounding 9 more.

Some of the injured are in critical conditions, guessing rise in the civilian death toll, hospital sources reported.

In the meantime, the fighter jets targeted Belad al-Rous region South of Sana’a in Western Yemen on Tuesday, killing 8 civilians and wounding 25 others.

Based on reports, different regions in the provinces of Haja, Sana’a and Sa’ada have been bombed tens of times by the Saudi army aircraft.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 15,000 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia’s deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.

The cholera outbreak in Yemen which began in April, has also claimed over 2,100 lives and has infected 750,000, as the nation has been suffering from what the World Health Organization (WHO) describes as the “largest epidemic in the world” amid a non-stop bombing campaign led by Saudi Arabia. Also Riyadh’s deadly campaign prevented the patients from traveling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.

According to reports, the cholera epidemic in Yemen, which is the subject of a Saudi Arabian war and total embargo, is the largest recorded in modern history.
