In
Yemen’s Hodeida province, fishing is no longer the main activity
practiced by most residents, instead, the hunt for civilians trapped
under the rubble of structures destroyed by Saudi-led coalition
airstrikes, using U.S. weapons, has come to take people’s time.
“He
went out to search for something to eat … I wish I was dead instead
of him,” shouted 50-year-old Saleem, standing next to the body
of his son at the al-Thawrah hospital in Hodeida. Saleem’s son was
killed in a double-tap airstrike targeting a fishing harbor on
Thursday in Yemen’s western province of Hodeida.
The
coalition launched its initial salvo of Thursday’s airstrikes on a
fish market known as “fishing harbor,” killing tens of fishermen
and wounding others who were later transferred to al-Thawrah
hospital, which would be targeted by coalition bombs a short time
later. The fish market was targeted again not long after the first
strikes hit. So far 60 people are believed to have been killed in the
two attacks and 130 were wounded, including three women and children,
some of the injured remain in critical condition.
