Yemen: On September 3 in the years 2015, 2016, and 2018, US-Saudi aggression committed severe war crimes against the Yemeni people. The airstrikes targeted civilian homes, vehicles, farms, hospitals, and schools in the provinces of Sa'adah and Sana'a, resulting in 26 deaths and 27 injuries. These acts have caused widespread displacement, destruction of property, economic deterioration, and a worsening humanitarian crisis. Despite the ongoing atrocities, there has been a lack of adequate humanitarian aid and justice for the victims, allowing the aggression and blockade on Yemen to continue for nine years.

2015: 15 Casualties in Sa'adah

On September 3, 2015, the US-Saudi airstrikes targeted homes and the Razeh Rural Hospital in Sa'adah, killing eight civilians and injuring seven others. The deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, reflects a systematic attempt to destroy essential services and terrorize the Yemeni population. This attack is part of a broader pattern of violations that have continued for years without accountability.

2015: A Devastating Massacre in Sana'a

On the same day, in the capital, Sana'a, airstrikes hit seven homes and a school in the al-Haymah area, killing six people and injuring eight. Another strike on the home and farm of Ali Qarba’a in the al-Sab’ayn district resulted in the death of a child and injuries to 12 others. The attacks left behind scenes of destruction, fear, and immense suffering, adding to the long list of war crimes committed against the Yemeni people.

2016: Multiple Attacks in Sa'adah

On September 3, 2016, airstrikes targeted civilian areas in Sa'adah, killing four people and injuring six. The strikes hit a vehicle, killing two people and injuring four others, while another strike on a home killed a mother and her child. These attacks demonstrate the ongoing deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, which has caused widespread displacement and suffering in the region.

2018: Destruction in Sa'adah Continues

On September 3, 2018, airstrikes once again hit civilian homes and farms in the Baqim district of Sa'adah, causing significant property damage and forcing many families to flee their homes. The continued targeting of civilian areas has compounded the already dire humanitarian situation in Yemen, with displaced families facing severe shortages of food, water, and shelter.

These incidents are a part of the broader campaign of violence and destruction that has ravaged Yemen for nine years, with countless civilian casualties and widespread devastation. Despite the severity of these crimes, there has been little international action to hold the perpetrators accountable.
