Lahj:The Ministry of Education and Scientific Research has strongly condemned the recent Saudi airstrike on Al-Nahda School in the Al-Jumruk area of Zureiqat Al-Sham, Al-Maqatirah District, in Lahj Governorate. This incident is part of a series of attacks targeting the education sector.
According to Yemen News Agency, the ministry's statement highlighted that the ongoing attacks on teachers, students, and educational facilities demonstrate the Saudi enemy's hostility towards future generations and its efforts to disrupt education and promote ignorance.
The statement further described the repeated assaults on educational infrastructure as blatant violations of international and humanitarian laws and conventions. It also criticized the international community's silence in the face of what it termed a series of crimes against the Yemeni people, suggesting that these actions reflect the enemy's psychological and moral defeat.
The ministry urged individuals worldwide, along with human rights and humanitarian organizations, to take a stand against these crimes. It called for pressure on the UN Security Council to meet its legal and moral obligations to protect civilians and educational facilities.
