Taiz:Yemen: The Yemeni Human Rights Center has issued a condemnation of the ongoing Saudi airstrikes, which the center claims are directly targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, including densely populated markets and residential areas.
According to Yemen News Agency, the center's statement highlighted that since the escalation began in July 2026, a total of 998 individuals, predominantly women and children, have been killed or injured due to these airstrikes.
The center specifically referenced a recent attack on Al-Shariya village in the Bani Hushaysh district, resulting in 25 deaths and 30 injuries. Additionally, Friday’s airstrikes on Al-Hadhara market in the Al-Wazi'iyah district of Taiz resulted in 30 fatalities and eight injuries.
The Yemeni Human Rights Center has labeled these actions as violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws, holding Saudi Arabia and its allies legally accountable. It has called upon the United Nations and international human rights organizations to denounce the attacks, hold the perpetrators accountable, and work towards ending the aggression and blockade on Yemen.
