Ain Al-Insaniyah Center Condemns Saudi Attacks on Civilians in Hodeidah and Sa’ada

Hodeidah:The Ain Al-Insaniyah Center for Rights and Development has issued a strong condemnation of the Saudi attacks targeting civilians and civilian facilities in the Hodeidah and Sa'ada governorates.

According to Yemen News Agency, the center reported that Saudi warplanes conducted 10 airstrikes on seven residential buildings in Al-Eissi Residential City, located north of Hodeidah, along with two strikes on the Al-Hariba area in Sahar District, Sa'ada. These attacks have led to the serious injury of a female student and caused terror among students at Al-Rahma School. Additionally, the strikes resulted in the complete destruction of a mosque, as well as damage to a school and a drinking water project.

The center's statement highlighted that these attacks are part of an ongoing escalation against educational facilities, with over 58 schools either damaged or destroyed since the latest escalation began. Furthermore, five civilians were also reported injured by Saudi forces in the border district of Shada.

The Ain Al-Insaniyah Center emphasized that the targeting of civilians and infrastructure seems to be a deliberate policy aimed at inflicting casualties and obliterating public facilities, which exacerbates the suffering of local residents. The center described the assaults on houses, schools, places of worship, and water projects as grave breaches of international humanitarian law, holding the Saudi regime accountable for the casualties and material damage incurred.

The center has urged the international community, the United Nations, human rights organizations, and humanitarian entities to condemn these actions, ensure accountability for the perpetrators, and take measures to halt attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Yemen.
