UN In Front of Real Test - Yemen Human Rights Ministry

Local Editor

Yemen’s Human Rights Ministry condemned Saturday the Saudi-led coalition airstrikes that hit the capital Sana’a, deeming them a violation of international humanitarian law.

The ministry spokesperson stated that the United Nations is “in front of real test.”

The official called on the UN to have a stance toward the coalition’s escalation.

The US-backed Saudi-led coalition launched a series of airstrikes on the capital Sana’a. At least two people were killed and several others injured in the attacks.

The Saudi-led military aggression against Yemen in early 2015 has also wrecked the country's medical, water and sanitation systems, resulting in the outbreak of cholera and other deadly diseases. Thousands of civilians, especially children, have lost their lives either in airstrikes or fighting hunger.
