US remains ‘undisturbed’ by civilian deaths in Saudi war on Yemen
As Saudi forces continue bombings to “deliberately target” civilians in Yemen, the US appears to remain “undisturbed,” says a Saudi scholar.
Ali al-Ahmed told Press TV on Wednesday that the United States has been part of war on the impoverished country that includes “targeting” civilians.
“Targeting civilians deliberately is a war crime,” he said, while commenting on a Monday report by Human Rights Watch, implicating Washington in attacks that have “failed to distinguish civilians from military objectives or caused disproportionate civilian loss.”
“The US is completely undisturbed by this for some reason, because they believe that they are immune to international law,” al-Ahmed said.
HRW deputy Middle East director Joe Stork, blasted US authorities Monday over engagement in the war, saying, “How many civilians will die in unlawful airstrikes in Yemen before the coalition and its US ally investigate what went wrong and who is responsible?”
More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured in the conflict. The Saudi war has also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure.
The US has been supporting Riyadh in the war particularly by refueling military jets and providing intelligence support.
