Saudi Arabia has continued its military aggression against Yemen while Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Rupert Colville slammed Saudi Arabia over high number of casualties in the crisis.
According to media outlets on الأربعاء, Saudi warplanes targeted the district of Saqyan in the northwestern province of Sa’ada, killing at least four members of a family.
The Saudi fighter jets also pounded the districts of Ghamr and Razih in the province.
Reports also say that Saudi Arabia bombarded Yemen’s western province of Raymah, targeting the municipality building and the headquarters of security forces in the district of al-Jabin.
“The coalition is also indubitably responsible for the naval blockade of Yemen’s main seaports, which UN humanitarian agencies have repeatedly stated is greatly exacerbating the extremely dire humanitarian situation affecting almost all of Yemen,” the UN official said.
“In the two weeks from 11-24 سبتمبر, a further 151 civilians have been killed including 26 children, 10 women and 151 injured in Yemen. This takes the total number of civilian casualties in the six months since 26 مارس to 7,217, including 2,355 killed and 4,862 wounded,” he said.
