Two people were killed on Friday in the Saudi-led coalition’s airstrikes on Hodeida province.

An official told Yemen Press Agency that one child was killed in Suwaiq area of Tuhaita district.

Meanwhile, a civilian was killed and five others injured, including a child and two women, in drone strikes that targeted four homes in Area 24 of Mina district.

According to a new report by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, the Saudi-led war has so far claimed the lives of around 56,000 Yemenis.

The Saudi-led war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN has already said that a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.

According to the world body, Yemen is suffering from the most severe famine in more than 100 years.

A number of Western countries, the US and Britain in particular, are also accused of being complicit in the ongoing aggression as they supply the Riyadh regime with advanced weapons and military equipment as well as logistical and intelligence assistance.
