The representative of Human Rights Organization of Yemen, Hazem Al-Sharif, pointed that more than half of the hospitals in Yemen went out of service because of bombing and destruction.

Al-Sharif said, during a side seminar on Friday entitled "Three Years of Saudi-Emirati Aggression Crimes" on the sidelines of the 37th session of the Human Rights Council, that the infrastructure in Yemen is being destroyed including hospitals, markets, crossings, airports, ports and places of worship.

He affirmed that more than 253 markets were destroyed in the Saudi attacks, such as the attack on Nihm Market in Sana’a, in addition to the destruction of bridges, factories and other facilities.

He added that in 2017, 22 million people are in need of food, and more than 350 hospitals have gone out of service, many of which have been completely bombed and completely destroyed, except for government centers as official centers in Dhamar, which includes official documents of one million and 800,000 citizens.

Al-Sharif pointed that a medical center for Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Saada provides services to more than 2,300 citizens.

He noted a spokesperson of MSF said the Saudi aggression disregards human rights and international law.
