News - Yemen: The Human Rights Office in Taiz condemned the crime of aggression that targeted Al-Akhdua area in the Maqbanah district, which resulted in the death and injury of 17 citizens, most of them children and women.

The office said in a statement that this crime against children and women is part of a series of crimes committed by the mercenaries of aggression in the province.

It added that targeting residential areas is a war crime against humanity. It held the mercenaries of aggression responsible for these crimes.

The office called on the international community and international organizations to assume their humanitarian and moral responsibilities, and to put pressure on the countries involved in aggression to stop their crimes against Yemeni civilians.

Taiz and other occupied provinces suffer from a state of security chaos and have become a scene of murders, kidnappings and torture of civilians.

Violations and crimes are exacerbated in the areas under the control of the US-Saudi aggression and mercenaries, with the complicity of the security authorities there, which have reached the point of deliberately targeting civilians with killing and threats.

What is happening in those areas are war crimes and flagrant violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law. However, human rights organizations do not move a finger about these violations.
