News - Yemen: The Executive Center for Dealing with Mine confirmed Thursday the death of a citizen in the Ad-Duraimi district in Hodeidah, in explosions of bombs left over from the US-Saudi aggression.

The Executive Center has been asking the UNDP to provide these devices for more than three years to no avail.

It is noteworthy that, on February 15, three citizens were killed as a result of a mine explosion east of At-Tohyta district.

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

The Executive Center records on a daily basis the casualties, due to the large contamination of cluster bombs, and the failure to provide the requirements for marking areas contaminated with cluster bombs, and the remnants of war.

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.

The victims of cluster bombs have reached more than 25,000 civilians since the beginning of the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen in 2015. Moreover, the support and resources allocated to field clearance do not reach the level of 2% of what is required to be cleaned.
