Thousands of Yemeni people once again flooded the streets of the capital, Sana’a, on Friday to denounce the relentless Saudi-led military aggression against their country.

The protesters gathered in the Bab al-Yemen region in the capital to voice their outrage at the Saudi-led airstrikes against their country as well as a recent decision by the United States to sell more arms to the Riyadh regime.

The protest was held as one person was killed and several others were wounded in Saudi-led airstrikes on a neighborhood in the town of Khadir in Yemen’s Taiz province on Friday.

Also on Friday, 10 civilians, including children, lost their lives and several others were injured during Saudi-led bombings on Sa’ada province in northwestern Yemen.

The country has been under relentless airstrikes by a Saudi-led coalition since March. 

A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26.

The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].

The attacks began in a bid to restore power to fugitive former Yemeni president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia, and to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement that is currently resisting the aggression.

Over 2,615 civilians have been killed in the conflict in the last six months, according to the UN. Yet, other organization put the death toll at much higher. According to the Yemeni health ministry, the death toll from the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen so far is more than 6,000, adding that 1,277 of those killed were children.
