Doha:The National Human Rights Commission has issued a strong condemnation of Saudi attacks on key civilian facilities in Yemen, labeling them as an all-out war on life in the region.
According to Yemen News Agency, the commission stated that Saudi-US warplanes executed a series of war crimes by targeting essential infrastructure necessary for human survival. This includes a deliberate strike on the Old Mocha Hospital in Taiz province, which resulted in extensive damage to its buildings and medical facilities.
The commission further criticized the bombing of a mosque and a religious school in the Al-Mashawil area of Maqbanah district, Taiz, which destroyed both structures and seriously injured a girl. Additionally, an airstrike in the Al-Safra district, Sa'ada province, near a school in the Nashour area, injured a boy and a female student.
The attacks also included a strike on a solar power system and an artesian well in Arhab district, Sana'a province, as well as seven raids on the Al-Matoun and Al-Matammah districts in Al-Jawf province. The commission indicated these actions were aimed at terrorizing peaceful communities by depriving them of essential services like treatment, education, water, and electricity.
Holding the Saudi regime and the United States accountable, the commission asserted that these attacks represent a shift from military aggression to collective punishment, targeting Yemen's civilian infrastructure. They emphasized that war crimes remain prosecutable without limitation.
The commission called on international bodies such as the World Health Organization and UNICEF, alongside relevant water agencies, to issue unequivocal condemnations. It also urged national and international human rights organizations to document these crimes and bring them to the International Criminal Court.
In conclusion, the commission expressed confidence in the resilience of the Yemeni people, who have historically rebuilt their infrastructure against great odds, and urged them to persist despite the destruction caused by the attacks.
