News - Yemen: The Director of the Care and Rehabilitation Fund, Sa’adah Branch, confirmed that the total number of disabled people in Sa’adah is 21 thousand disabled most of their disabilities are due to the bombing of the US-Saudi aggression.

Ali Zaraa told Almasirah Sunday that the border area of   Raqo recorded an approximate statistic of 60 disabled people per month, with a total of 5040 disabled during 7 years as a result of the bombing of the US-Saudi aggression.
 
He added that thousands of children were born with abnormalities, and there are medical sources who explain that the main reason is weapons of aggression, stressing that there is no role for organizations.
 
He continued, "The Children's Care Organization provides only 3% of the needs of the fund in the governorate, explaining that the main Fund for the Care and Rehabilitation of the Disabled in Sana'a provides only 10% of the needs due to the aggression and the siege."
 
Zaraa pointed out that Sa’adah Governorate suffers more that the rest of the governorates in terms of the increase in the handicapped, and that there are many disabilities due to the remnants of the cluster bombs and direct bombing.
 
The Director of the Fund for the Care of the Disabled said: "The closure of Sana'a airport prevented the patients from traveling for treatment abroad, which could have overcome the temporary disability, but today it has become a permanent one."
 
The Fund, Care and Rehabilitation of the Disabled in Sana'a also called for more attention and consideration to the increasing number of the disabled on the Fund's branch in the governorate.
 
The victims of cluster bombs have reached more than 25,000 civilians since the beginning of the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen in 2015. The Director of the Executive Center for Mine Action, Brigadier General Ali Safra, pointed out on Saturday that the support and resources allocated to field clearance do not reach the level of 2% of what is required to be cleaned.
 
Brigadier-General Safra stated that Hodeidah, Al-Baidha'a, Marib, Al-Jawf, Nihm and Sa'ada are the most infested areas for mines and bombs, in which the aggression used the most deadly and latest military technology in our country.
 
He explained that the Center is continuing to work to clear areas contaminated and affected by the bombs and mines of the US-Saudi aggression, pointing out that mines and remnants - especially cluster bombs - have become a national issue and a societal problem that must be disposed.
 
It is noteworthy that the Executive Center for Mine Action announced the discovery of 544 mines and cluster bombs left over from the aggression during the first week of January 2022.
