Sana’a Targeted by Saudi Airstrikes

Local Editor

The US-backed Saudi aggression warplanes resumed bombing the capital Sana’a on Wednesday morning, targeting residential areas, an official said.

The strikes targeted Al Hafa and Nokem residential areas east of the capital, causing large damage to citizens’ houses as well as public and private properties.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The war has drawn huge international condemnation, with the Saudi coalition’s actions having further devastated the Middle East’s poorest nation.

More than half of Yemen’s 22 million population are currently living at emergency levels of food insecurity and need urgent relief - especially in remote rural areas that are often overlooked by humanitarian schemes.

About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
