Yemen’s Ministry of Public Health and Population on Sunday condemned the Saudi-led coalition’s artillery shelling on al-Zohor neighborhood in al-Hali district of Hodeidah province.

The attack killed four people and wounded 18 others, many of whom are in critical conditions. In addition, private properties and homes were destroyed.

In a statement, the ministry condemned the attack as a crime and a flagrant violation of the Stockholm Agreement.

“The aggression forces have not only tightened the blockade on Yemen for more than five years and spread the pandemic, malnutrition and chronic diseases, but have continued to direct their weapons against the Yemeni people, who have been suffering for more than 62 months as a result of the blockade and aggression,” the statement read.

The statement held the United Nations and its organizations responsible for every drop of blood shed by the coalition of aggression in Yemen.

The ministry called on the free people of world to support Yemen’s deteriorating health sector and to put pressure on Saudi-led coalition and the United Nations to lift the blockade in order to alleviate the suffering of Yemeni children and women from the greatest tragedy they are experiencing.
