Yemen: On this day, September 22, between the years 2015 and 2018, US-Saudi airstrikes targeted civilian homes, residential areas, a school, a hotel, and a car dealership with a series of brutal air raids across the provinces of Sana’a, Sa’adah, Amran, and Hodeidah.

These attacks resulted in war crimes, brutal massacres, and the extermination of entire families. During this period, 54 people were martyred, and more than 50 others, mostly children, women, and the elderly, were wounded. Dozens of homes were destroyed, properties were severely damaged, and waves of grief, fear, displacement, and suffering were caused. This happened in full view of the world, the international community, the United Nations, and the International Court of Justice.

Here are the key details of the crimes committed against the Yemeni people on this day:
