Amnesty International has accused the Saudi-led coalition of violating international humanitarian law in Yemen.

The international organizations described the Saudi violation as “blatant” due to its constant targeting of highly residential areas all over Yemen.

In a statement released on its website, Amnesty stated that the coalition has killed thousands of Yemeni civilians by bombarding houses and the already weak infrastructure in various Yemeni governorates.

In addition, the British organizations mentioned a report it has published indicating that the Saudi-led coalition is mobilizing for a major and imminent attack on western Hodeidah province, demanding that the massacres must not be repeated in the coastal city.

The Saudi-led war on Yemen has resulted in a total of 30,000 killed and wounded Yemeni civilians, according to independent released statistics.
