The number of mosques and cemeteries affected by the Saudi-led bombardment in the capital Sana’a has amounted to 127 mosques and cemeteries.
Ibrahim al-Khateeb, director-general of the endowment office in the capital, confirmed that 114 mosques suffered large and medium damages, such as cracks in buildings, dislocation of windows and doors and scripts defacement.
He added that 13 cemeteries suffered some damages and some were directly targeted by the aggression.
The mosques of Al-Sabeen district in south of the capital are the most damaged, where the number of affected mosques reached 31 mosques, followed by Bani al-Harith district with 25 mosques, and 58 mosques in the rest of the districts, al-Khateeb explained.
Saudi Arabia began its military aggression against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes are supposedly meant to undermine the Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured since the strikes began. The Saudi war has also taken a heavy toll on impoverished Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
