Three Yemeni Children Killed in Saudi-Led Strikes in Hudaydah
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A new round of airstrikes by the Saudi-led military coalition on a region in Yemen's Hudaydah Province resulted in the deaths of three children and the injury of another, local media reported.
According to a Houthi Ansarullah movement spokesman quoted by Yemen's al-Masirah TV, the devastating airstrikes were carried out by Saudi Arabia-led spy planes and targeted the village of al-Sharjah and the al-Jarrahi district southeast of Hudaydah.
Local sources said that earlier on Monday, two civilians were killed and four others were injured by coalition forces commanded by Saudi Arabia.
The Ministry of Human Rights denounced the continued killings and violations committed by the Saudi regime against Yemenis in the border lands.
The ministry said that Saudi-led coalition commits crimes against the impoverished country on a daily basis, killing not only Yemenis but also migrants in populated areas.
“Despite the mounting death toll and the ongoing violations in Hodeida, the world turns a blind eye to the crimes of the Saudi regime, which persists in committing them in cold blood,” said the ministry in a statement.
The statement highlighted the absence of international justice and the failure to condemn these crimes and to hold the coalition accountable for its crimes, and said that “the Saudi-led coalition takes advantage of the inaction and complicity of the United Nations and the international community and organizations that have shown hypocrisy and dual standards.”
In November, the Entesaf Organization for the Protection of Women's and Children's Rights announced that more than more than 3,000 children have been killed and more than 4,000 injured as a result of the seven-year war on Yemen.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
