Furthermore, the Ministry of Human Rights confirmed on August 29 that the number of civilians who died as a result of the Saudi war and siege marked 247 thousand citizens due to lack of medicines and the spread of epidemics, malnutrition and kidney failure.
The Saudi-led alliance began its military campaign against Yemen on March 26, 2015. What doubled the hardship of Yemenis is the economic siege, the closure of Yemeni ports and airports and the bombing of industrial, commercial and agricultural facilities, which made millions of Yemenis suffer from the deterioration of economic, health and living conditions.
