Yemen: On August 31, over the years 2015 and 2016, the US-Saudi aggression carried out a series of brutal airstrikes in Yemen, targeting civilian homes, markets, and government buildings. These attacks led to the deaths of dozens, left many injured, and caused significant damage to infrastructure, leaving behind stories of tragedy and loss.

August 31, 2015: Double Massacre in Sa'adah

Airstrikes in Sa'adah province claimed the lives of nine civilians, including children and women, and injured 10 others. Homes were reduced to rubble, leaving survivors to face the harsh reality of displacement and loss. A witness recalls the horror: "My home, my family, everything was destroyed in an instant."

The Agricultural Market Attack In another attack, an agricultural market in Majz was bombed, killing two and injuring five. A farmer recounts, "We were gathering pomegranates when the bombs fell. I barely escaped with my life."

August 31, 2016: Targeting Justice and Civilians in Amran

A year later, airstrikes hit the judicial complex in Amran, injuring seven security guards and causing massive damage. This attack symbolized the coalition's contempt for justice and law in Yemen.

Tragic Incident in Hajjah 

On the same day, in Hajjah's Hiran district, airstrikes targeted a family home, killing seven members, including children. The tragic scene of lifeless bodies, including that of a one-year-old child, laid bare the brutality of the attacks.

Infrastructure and Food Supplies Under Attack 

The US-Saudi aggression also bombed a food truck in Hajjah, destroying vital supplies meant for the starving population. These attacks exacerbated the already dire food crisis, leaving many Yemenis struggling for survival.

The ongoing airstrikes and blockade by the US-Saudi coalition have led to the deaths and displacement of thousands, further worsening Yemen's humanitarian crisis. These attacks, which violate international law, demand urgent international action to end the suffering and hold those responsible accountable.
