Sa'ada:The Entesaf Organization for Women and Child Rights has strongly condemned the Saudi targeting of the Al-Hariba area in the Sahar District of Sa'ada Governorate. The attacks reportedly caused damage to educational, religious, and service facilities, which the organization describes as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
According to Yemen News Agency, the airstrikes resulted in a female student being seriously injured and instilled fear among students at Al-Rahma School. The strikes also led to the complete destruction of the area's mosque and damage to both the school and a drinking water project.
The organization emphasized that such attacks on schools, mosques, water projects, and other civilian facilities constitute a war crime and violate international conventions and laws designed to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure during armed conflicts.
Entesaf holds the Saudi regime fully accountable for the attack and its humanitarian and material consequences, as well as its psychological impact on children and civilians. The organization also criticized the ongoing silence of the international community and UN organizations regarding crimes against civilians and infrastructure in Yemen, warning that the lack of serious action may encourage further violations.
The organization has called for an independent international investigation into the crimes against civilians and accountability for those responsible. It urged human rights and humanitarian organizations to intensify efforts to document and expose violations, and to help protect civilians and educational and service facilities.
