Scores of Saudi-funded mercenaries were killed and wounded when the Yemeni army and popular committees repelled an attack in Thai Naim district of al-Baidha province, a military official said on Friday.
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.
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.
