Saudi warplanes kill seven Yemenis
At least seven civilians have lost their lives and a couple of others sustained injuries in Saudi Arabia’s latest wave of aerial bombardment of improvised Yemen.
Saudi warplanes on Tuesday struck a house in Safra district in the northwestern province of Sa'ada, killing at least five people and wounding six women and children, Yemen's official Saba news agency reported, adding that another air raid was carried out on a house in Kitaf district, leaving several casualties.
Two other Yemeni people were also killed in Saudi airstrikes on a fuel station in the Beyhan district of the southern Shabwah province.
Saudi Arabia started military attacks against Yemen in late March in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power.
To curb the increasing violence, a renewable seven-day ceasefire under United Nations auspices was agreed between warring sides in Yemen and went into effect on December 15, but it has been repeatedly violated, mainly by the Saudi war machine.
Meanwhile, the UN released a report on the war-torn country, saying some 1.8 million children have had to drop out of classes due to the Saudi aggression against the country. Moreover, some 170 schools have been demolished in air raids and some 600 others sustained partial damage.
The report further said that around 14 million people lack sufficient access to healthcare assistance, and that the unabated aerial aggression has left over 2.5 million people internally displaced, an eight-fold increase since the beginning of the attacks.
Saudi Arabia’s military attacks against Yemen have so far claimed the lives of more than 7,500 people and injured over 14,000 others.
