Accra:The Ministry of Health and Environment has reported that the Saudi aggression against Yemen has resulted in 536 casualties, including both martyrs and injured individuals, since the escalation began on September 3 and continued until October 18. The majority of these victims are women and children.
According to Yemen News Agency, the Ministry's statement detailed that there were 141 martyrs and 395 injured. The highest percentage of victims was recorded in Taiz Governorate at 32.3 percent, followed by Saada at 22.2 percent, and Al-Jawf at 16 percent.
