The Yemeni bordering district of Haradh in Hajjah governorate is one of the places that suffered the most from the current Saudi-led coalition’s war.
In a documentary released by Almasirah Yemeni channel, citizens are now living in a bunch of tents to substitute for their destroyed homes.
The victims also lack the most basic human right, which is water, according to the displaced citizens.
Nearly 1,700 families are left with no shelter but the refugee tents they settle in.
The vulnerable aforementioned families complain of gaining the attention of no one, expressing that they are left to deal with the consequences of a Saudi harsh war with not any kind of assistance from any humanitarian organization.
“Water, nutrition and a shelter are vital for life, but we can not find them, presence of water is quite weak in a way that you could never imagine. Secondly, regarding the shelter, people are living in tents and some of them even under trees”, one of Haridh’s victims pointed out.
“Look at our bathrooms!”, one of the citizens shouts in complaint, “we have to use a blanket as a door for the hand-made bathroom, it is a blanket one uses for the bathroom during daylight and to warmth his kids during night’, he stated.
“We used to have jobs before the Saudi aggression, we worked for our living, but since the aggression began, it destroyed everything. The aggression targeted schools and popular markets, where we worked”, another civilian said.
The brutal targeting of Haradh district resulted in the displacement of about 150,000 individuals, leaving us with one question, “where did they go?! how are they doing now after the demolition of their lives?”
According to the documentary, at least 60 schools were targeted by the coalition, leading to the comprehensive halt of the educational process.
More than 150 service facilities were also struck by the US-backed Saudi coalition, even private and public hospitals, hotels and restaurants were no exceptions.
The local authority confirms the statistics reported by the documentary, but even documented turned-into-rubble buildings and severe hardship witnessed by Yemenis would not cease the current suffocating Saudi war against the impoverished country of Yemen.
