Sanaa: On this day, August 24, numerous citizens were martyred and injured due to airstrikes by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and subsequent attacks by its forces and mercenaries across multiple provinces in Yemen.
According to Yemen News Agency, the violence has been ongoing across several years, marked by targeted airstrikes and shelling. On August 24, 2015, six members of a single family were martyred in Saada Province's Razih District as their home was destroyed by a series of airstrikes. Similar tragic incidents occurred in Hodeidah, where airstrikes targeted residential areas and commercial establishments, resulting in the death of a citizen and injuries to over seven others.
The report further highlights events from subsequent years. On August 24, 2016, infrastructure, including a bridge in Ibb Province and an archaeological mosque in Sana'a Province, suffered destruction due to airstrikes. The pattern continued in 2017, with attacks affecting civilians and fishermen in Hodeida Province, causing injuries and extensive property damage in various districts.
In the following years, incidents of aggression included airstrikes in Marib and Hajjah Provinces, leading to the destruction of homes and injury to civilians. The persistent violence saw its peak on August 24, 2023, when 17 citizens, primarily women and children, were martyred or injured due to artillery shelling in Taiz Province. This recent escalation underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis resulting from the prolonged conflict.
The cumulative impact of these attacks has led to considerable loss of life and infrastructure damage across Yemen, exacerbating the dire humanitarian situation faced by its citizens.
