In a horrifying and shocking toll, the Ministry of Health in the Sana’a government announced that the number of casualties from U.S. airstrikes targeting residential neighborhoods and civilian areas in the capital Sana’a and the provinces of Saada and Al-Bayda has reached 151 dead and injured.
The ministry confirmed that the brutal airstrikes resulted in 53 fatalities, most of them children and women, in addition to 101 wounded, including critically injured individuals, raising fears of an increasing death toll in the coming hours.
The ministry reported that the bombings targeted citizens’ homes, densely populated neighborhoods, local markets, and service facilities, in blatant violation of all international and humanitarian laws that criminalize attacks on civilians.
Additionally, the Ministry of Health and Environment in Sana’a strongly condemned the destruction of the Cancer Center building in Saada Province and the medicine storage facilities of the Republican Hospital Authority in the province due to the U.S. attack.
These U.S. attacks, which deliberately target civilians and residential areas, constitute a full-fledged war crime under international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, which strictly prohibit attacks on civilians under any pretext.
The massacre, committed within just a few hours, marks a dangerous escalation that threatens to worsen the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen, amid a suspicious international silence.
