Remembering the Victims: Chronicling the Devastating Civilian Toll of the US-Saudi Assault on Yemen

Yemen: The US-Saudi aggression has continued on such a day, May 20th, during 9 years of aggression and siege, targeting the homes, farms, shops, public roads and markets of citizens, as well as water networks, in Saada, Hajjah and Taiz, leaving dozens of martyrs and wounded, including children, women, and Ethiopian migrants.

Many crimes were recorded on this day that cannot be forgotten by the Yemeni people. The Almasirah newspaper highlights the main crimes of the aggression on this day as follows:

May 20, 2015: 8 martyrs and others wounded as the aggression targeted Ibb:

On this day, May 20, 2015, the US-Saudi aggression targeted the Shaban area in the Jebla district of Ibb governorate. The aggression's air strikes resulted in 8 martyrs and a number of wounded civilians on the public road and in their commercial shops and daily work.

Here is the scene of savagery - burnt bodies and torn limbs of citizens turned into motionless corpses in hospital morgues, and spilled blood amidst destruction and ruin, on the roadside.

Around 11:30 am, the people of the Shaban area were surprised by the successive intensity of the air strikes on them. A family rushes out of their home quickly, fearing being targeted, heading towards the mountains hoping to find a refuge from the missiles and bombs dropped by the aggression's warplanes. Children flee their homes towards the farms and under the trees, hoping to survive or hide from the enemy's brutal raids.

The crime sparked widespread public outrage among the people of Jebla and all of Ibb governorate, saddened by their sons and the core of their hearts. A citizen says: "This is a real tragedy for humanity. Where is the global conscience? Why target those passing on the roads? Why the direct killing of civilians? Does this world have an ounce of human values and principles left?"

Another says: "These crimes and the deliberate targeting of civilians do not reflect the integrity of our enemy's religion, but are directly related to the Jews, the enemies of God, his religion, and humanity."

On May 20, 2015, 5 martyrs and 2 injured in Haradh:

On the same day, May 20, 2015, the US-Saudi aggression air force targeted Ethiopian migrants in Haradh District, Hajjah Governorate, with a number of air raids.

The aggression raids resulted in 5 martyrs and injuries, and a state of fear and panic among the Ethiopian and Somali migrants, and passers-by at the scene of the crime.

Dismembered bodies and scattered limbs on a sparsely populated desert ground, no trace left except the remains of tents, bedding, bodies and blood on the sand, those who survived could not express themselves; out of fear and sorrow, in front of severed heads that lost their brains and turned into broken pieces by the shrapnel of the raids, in a savage scene.

Targeting migrants from the Ethiopian and Somali communities is not the last, but has been followed by a number of crimes that targeted everything that moves on Yemeni soil, without any position from the United Nations and humanitarian organizations.

May 20, 2015.. The aggression continues to target the public road in Saadah:

On this same day, May 20, 2015, the US-Saudi aggression air force targeted the main road connecting the border districts of Haydan and Al-Zahir in Saadah Governorate.

The raids resulted in the separation of the two districts, depriving the residents in the neighboring areas of access to food and medical supplies, and multiplying the suffering.

4 raids were launched by the enemy's aircraft on a road not exceeding 4 meters in diameter on a towering mountain connecting two mountains and two districts, and areas and villages inhabited by thousands of citizens.

Targeting public roads since the start of the aggression is not the first in the border areas and districts, but was preceded and followed by many attempts to cut off roads and food, medical and medical supplies, to multiply the suffering of citizens and force them to be displaced.

In addition, the aggression air force targeted on the same day the house of a citizen in the Dhaian area of Majz District, Saadah Governorate.

The aggression raids resulted in the complete destruction of the house and the displacement of its residents in the mountains and caves, without shelter, in a monitored targeting of civilian objects, and all international and humanitarian conventions and treaties that criminalize this.

The Saudi aggression continued to target the homes of citizens, day and night, for 9 years, in a systematic manner.

May 20, 2015.. 6 airstrikes by the aggression's target the water project in Hajjah

On this day, May 20, 2015, the Saudi-led aggression aircraft targeted the water project in the Abs district, Hajjah governorate, with 6 airstrikes.

The aggression's airstrikes resulted in the destruction of the project, taking it out of service, and depriving thousands of citizens in the areas of the Abs district of obtaining their share of clean water, which was distributed among the various villages and hamlets in the district, as well as a state of fear and panic among citizens and shop owners in the city of Abs.

Targeting water projects by the aggression's airstrikes was followed by many crimes targeting drinking water projects, in an attempt to disturb life in the face of the ongoing popular steadfastness for 9 years.

May 20, 2017.. 12 martyrs and wounded in the aggression's targeting of market in Taiz:

On the same day, May 20, 2017, the US-Saudi aggression warplanes targeted the Al-Barh market in the Maqbanah district of Taiz governorate.

The aggression's airstrikes resulted in 3 martyrs and 9 civilian casualties, as well as losses in citizens' properties and commercial shops, and a state of fear and panic among shoppers and residents.

Here are the spilled blood of young men who were on the sidewalk, and bodies whose souls were taken by the shrapnel of the aggression's airstrikes on a place for collecting empty plastic cans, and people screaming and calling for help, and ambulances loaded with the wounded, and the saying "God is sufficient for us and He is the best disposer of affairs", and everyone is speaking the phrase "what is the fault of these people? Why are they being targeted? They are workers and citizens who earn their living, they have no connection to the war or politics; but because they are Yemenis."

Among the martyrs were two brothers from the Bajash family who were next to their small shop, and a child who was among the passers-by and shoppers, turned into torn and bloodied corpses by the airstrikes, saddening their families and all their loved ones, and all the free people of the world.

20 May 2017.. A Martyr and a Wounded in Saada:

On the same day, May 20, 2017, the US-Saudi aggression warplanes targeted the tent of a Bedouin in the Munabih district in Saadah governorate.

The aggression raids resulted in a martyr, a wounded person, the destruction of a car, the burning of the tent, the tearing of its furnishings, and the death of a number of goats, sheep, and chickens, as well as a state of fear and panic among the residents of the surrounding area.

Before the Maghrib prayer, the aggression aircraft flew at a high altitude, which the residents observed with their phones, taking pictures and videos before dropping their lethal payloads on a Bedouin tent near a cliff with water and pasture.

The aggression aircraft dropped its payload on the site, leaving behind a heinous crime, a tragedy, and suffering that breaks the heart, in view of the condition of a poor Bedouin whose wife is deprived of him and one of his children is wounded, his livestock is killed, his car is destroyed, and his tent is burned.

The lives of the poorest Bedouin segment in Yemen are no longer safe under the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen, but have become targeted and deliberate objectives that have been repeated throughout 9 years, reflecting the brutality of the enemy and the depth of his hatred.

20 May 2017.. Farmers' Homes and Markets in Saadah, Targets for Cluster Bomb Experiments:

On the same day, May 20, 2017, the aggression aircraft targeted the homes, farms of citizens, and markets in the city of Saadah with cluster bombs.

The raids resulted in the destruction of some homes, the death of livestock, the damage to farms, a state of fear and panic in the hearts of children and women, and a state of mass displacement from homes, fleeing to cliffs, caves, and mountains, to escape the evil of the ruthless aggression.

At 9 pm, during their sleep, the aggression warplane flew over Saadah, interrupting the sleep of children and women by fleeing their homes in fear that filled their chests and frightened the crowds, escaping and running, and the raids continued until midnight.

The next morning, the cluster bombs of the aggression appeared in the farms, roads and homes, some of which did not explode, and some exploded, filling the place with shrapnel.

One of the residents said, "The end of the oppressor is near. What have we done to them? Have our farms, shops and children become a military target for their aggression? Why all this brutality?"

May 20, 2019.. 15 martyrs and wounded in a brutal massacre in Hajjah:

On the same day, May 20, 2019, the aggression's aviation targeted a car of shoppers on the main road in the Sabbabah area, Mustaba district, Hajjah governorate.

The aggression's airstrikes resulted in a complete war crime, resulting in 4 martyrs and 11 wounded, who were on their way to the Monday market in "Al-Haijah", and a state of fear and panic among the citizens and passers-by on the main road, and the death of a number of livestock that were on the road for sale.

Here are scattered limbs and crushed bones and severed limbs, and burnt clothes on charred bodies, the smell of burned bodies rising with the smoke and the smell of gunpowder towards the sky, while the earth is soaked with unjustly and aggressively spilled blood.

The remains were gathered on a single blanket, of a number of people who, moments before the Saudi-led coalition aviation flew over the area and dropped its deadly payload, were alive dreaming of a happy day and a long life, but the enemy's airstrikes were lying in wait for them, and they did not return to their families carrying the expenses of the generous month, but rather returned carried as corpses and limbs and pieces, where one cannot be distinguished from another.

One of the paramedics, holding a severed head and raising it towards the sky, says: "Where is human rights, O world, why all this crime, brutality and obstinacy? We are human beings, not predators, and there is no enmity between us and anyone. What is the fault of this head, and what is the fault of this 15-year-old child's body? Is his only fault that he is Yemeni? This is the very injustice, this is not permissible from the Lord of the Heavens. These are shoppers going to the Al-Haijah market to buy Ramadan necessities?"

The scenes show the remains of a body hanging from the trees, an injured child in the face of the one rescuing him, and another still breathing in his lungs, and on the other side of the line a wounded person who lost his limbs crawling with half a body, asking for help and relief, it is a scene that makes the heads of children turn gray.

The Mustaba crime is not the first since the aggression against the Yemeni people began, but it was preceded and followed by hundreds of brutal crimes against humanity in Yemen over 9 years by the US-Saudi enemy, and it requires international moves to hold the leaders and war criminals accountable.
