“Saudi
aerial attacks on Yemen have so far claimed the lives of nearly 4,000
people across the impoverished country, a report says. According to a
recent report by Freedom House Foundation, nearly seven weeks of
Saudi airstrikes have claimed the lives of 3,979 Yemeni people so far
while more than 6,887 others have been wounded. The foundation
further said that most of the victims of the deadly Saudi campaign
are civilians, including a large number of women and children. The
group noted that the actual death toll is much higher as it does not
include hundreds of people listed as missing.”
“Meanwhile,
the UN Food and Agriculture Organization has recently warned of a
'catastrophic' humanitarian situation in Yemen, saying more than 15
million Yemenis are suffering from food insecurity in the wake of
Saudi airstrikes. Dominique Burgeon, the emergencies director at the
Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), said on Wednesday
that the Saudi attacks have caused severe shortages in water, fuel
and medical aid in Yemen.”
“According
to the latest UN figures, the Saudi military campaign has so far
claimed the lives of over 1,400 people and injured close to 6,000
others, roughly half of whom have been civilians.”
