Taiz:The Entesaf Organization for Women and Child Rights has issued a strong condemnation of the ongoing Saudi aggression in the Taiz and Lahj governorates. These actions have resulted in injuries to civilians and significant damage to vital infrastructure and public facilities.
According to Yemen News Agency, the organization's statement highlighted that Saudi warplanes targeted the Al-Suha-Karba mountain pass road, which connects the two governorates. This attack resulted in injuries to three civilians. Additionally, shelling coincided with the airstrike, affecting a school, a health unit, and a pharmacy in the Al-Zuraiqa Al-Sham area of Al-Maqatirah district, Lahj.
The statement further condemned the shooting and wounding of a woman by a sniper backed by the aggression in Tabat Al-Aqroud village, Al-Misrakh district, Taiz. These incidents were described as part of a series of ongoing violations against the Yemeni people over the past 12 years, disproportionately affecting women and children.
The Entesaf Organization emphasized that these attacks on public roads, schools, and healthcare facilities pose a direct threat to civilian lives, hinder access to essential services, and violate international humanitarian law. The organization holds the Saudi entities fully responsible for these crimes and has called for an immediate cessation of attacks on civilians and vital facilities. It also demands an independent and transparent international investigation to ensure accountability.
Furthermore, the organization has urged the United Nations, the Human Rights Council, and international human rights organizations to denounce these violations, take urgent measures to protect civilians, and work to end the ongoing abuses against the Yemeni population.
