Two Red Crescent volunteers were killed in an air strike south of Yemen’s capital, the Red Cross said on الأربعاء.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is shocked and saddened by the deaths of its two volunteers working in Yemen.
Qaed Faisal, 28, and Omar Fareh, 31, died along with several other civilians in a raid on الإثنين in Al-Swaida area of Taiz province, said the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
It noted in a statement that the attack took place on the same day that more than 130 people were killed in a reported air strike on a wedding hall near Mokha on the Red Sea.
“Indiscriminate air strikes and shelling have been going on in many parts of Yemen for more than six months, causing huge suffering to the civilian population,” the ICRC said.
Fuad al-Makhazy, secretary general of the Yemen Red Crescent Society, said eight of his staff and volunteers have now been killed.
Two Red Cross workers were gunned down in late أغسطس in rebel-held Amran province, north of Sana’a, in an attack which prompted the ICRC to suspend its operations in Yemen.
