Sana’a Electricity Workers Protest Against Saudi Attacks on Civilians

Sana'a:Employees from the Sana'a Electricity sector organized a protest on Tuesday to condemn the escalation of attacks and massacres committed by Saudi forces against civilians in the Taiz and Sanaa provinces.

According to Yemen News Agency, participants at the rally denounced recent airstrikes targeting the Al-Hadharah Popular Market in the Al-Wazi'iyah district of Taiz and the Al-Shariya village in the Bani Hushaysh district of Sanaa. These attacks reportedly resulted in dozens of casualties, with 30 people killed and injured in the Al-Hadharah Market incident and 44 killed and 40 injured in the Al-Shariya massacre.

The protesters accused Saudi forces of full responsibility for the attacks, highlighting that six occupied homes in Al-Shariya were targeted, alongside ambulance crews and civilians, in three consecutive strikes. They noted that a significant number of the victims were women and children.

The rally further criticized the Saudi attacks as part of a broader escalation, with health and human rights authorities documenting 927 casualties in a short span. The coalition was accused of deliberately targeting civilians and disrupting daily life.
