At least
seven Yemeni civilians were killed on Sunday when Saudi-led coalition
aircraft targeted residential areas in Yemen’s northwestern
province of Hajjah, Sada’a, and the western coastal province of
Hodeida.
In
Hajjah, Saudi airstrikes targeted a car as it was traveling on a road
in the Bani Hassan area of the Abs district on Sunday afternoon,
leaving four people dead and one injured, including one woman.
In
Sada’a, an Ansar Allah (Houthi) stronghold, a woman was killed and
another injured when Saudi border guards fired artillery shells
against a residential region in the border area of Shada. The thruway
in Munabeh, a border area located east of Shada, was cut off after
the Saudi attack on Monday.
In
Hodeida, two civilians were killed and six others, including
children, wounded when United Arab Emirates (UAE) aircraft targeted
the Zayed Road in the al-Hali district of Hodeida province.
The
Legal Center for Rights and Development in Yemen, a non-governmental
organization monitoring human rights violations immediately after
their occurrence, told MintPress that the ongoing Saudi-led military
campaign against Yemen has resulted in the death of 15,185 civilians,
including 3,527 children and 2,277 women.
A total
of 23,822 civilians, among them 3,526 children and 2,587 women, have
sustained injuries and are currently suffering from a shortage of
medical supplies and treatment resulting from the crippling Saudi
land, air and sea blockade. The center further noted that the
Saudi-led coalition has caused the deaths of nearly 2,200 Yemenis
from cholera.
The
center noted that coalition airstrikes have resulted in the
destruction of 15 airports and 14 ports, and damaged 2,559 roads and
bridges, in addition to 781 water storage facilities, 191 power
stations, and 426 telecommunications towers
The
center went on to say that Saudi and UAE bombardment has destroyed at
least 421,911 homes, 930 mosques, 888 schools, 327 hospitals and
health facilities, and 38 media organizations, while also halting the
operation of 4,500 schools and leaving more than 4 million people
internally displaced.
