Al-Maqatirah:The Entisaf Organization for Women and Child Rights has condemned the Saudi airstrikes targeting Al-Ma'een Bakira School and its mosque in Zurayqat Al-Sham, located in the Al-Maqatirah District of Lahj Governorate.
According to Yemen News Agency, the organization reported that Saudi warplanes conducted airstrikes on Monday morning, leading to the destruction of parts of the school building, classrooms, and facilities, as well as damage to the adjacent mosque.
The attack has disrupted education, depriving hundreds of local students of their right to schooling, and spreading fear among residents, particularly affecting children and women in nearby villages.
The Entisaf Organization described the targeting of schools, mosques, and civilian facilities as a war crime and a flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions and international law, holding the Saudi regime fully responsible for the attack and its consequences.
Additionally, the organization criticized the continued silence of the international community and UN organizations regarding violations against civilians and infrastructure in Yemen. It called for an urgent, independent international investigation into crimes against children and civilians in Yemen and for those responsible to be held accountable. Entisaf also urged local and international humanitarian and human rights organizations to expose these violations, support those affected, and protect essential services for children and civilians.
