News - Yemen: The Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training condemned the US-Saudi targeting of the Industrial Vocational Institute in Al-Soma’a District of Al-Baidha Governorate.

According to Saba news agency, the ministry considered in a statement that the aggression’s destruction of the institute’s building and facilities came within the framework of the systematic targeting of infrastructure and institutions of technical education and vocational training.

The statement pointed to the aggression’s targeting of institutes to prevent them from performing their tasks in rehabilitating and graduating local cadres who are reliable to contribute to the reconstruction of what was destroyed by the aggression.

The statement called on the United Nations and international organizations to play their role in protecting and neutralizing civilian facilities, noting that the United Nations had previously been informed of the locations of educational facilities, but it was unable to protect them.

The US-Saudi aggression continues to target neighborhoods and populated areas and destroy the infrastructure and capabilities of the country, in light of a suspicious international silence.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the claim of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power.

The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
