M.A.

The poorest country in the Middle East, Yemen, has been constantly bombed by the region’s richest country Saudi Arabia for nearly three years since the Kingdom first initiated its military campaign on March 26 of 2015.

The daily bombardment led to the worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world as well as an unprecedented outbreak of diseases such as cholera.

According to local Yemeni reports, the Saudi regime and its allies have included hospitals, schools, homes, factories, local markets, universities, bridges, farms and roads in their military targets.

The Saudi-led coalition, backed by the US and UK, has also been imposing an air, sea and land siege on the country, preventing the entry of essential life requirements like medical supplies. Moreover, the siege has consequently led to millions in need of humanitarian aid.

Despite the horrific results of the Saudi war on Yemen, the Kingdom continues to take advantage of the international silence and retains its position although it has achieved no goals it has earlier announced.

In Sa’ada Governorate, northern Yemeni border, the Saudi-led coalition launched on Sunday five raids on the area of Mothab in Safra district, two airstrikes on Al-Maghsal area in Majz district, while on the other hand, different regions of Razih border district were subjected to missile and artillery bombardment.

In Sana’a Governorate, the US-backed coalition conducted two air raids on Jarf region in Blad Al-Rouss district.

Heading to Hajjah Governorate, 10 raids were carried out against Haradh and Medhi districts.

In Marib Governorate, the Saudi-led coalition launched two raids on Serwah district, while one additional airstrike hit Al-Masloub district in Jawf Governorate.

A Saudi-led war began against Yemen on March 26 of 2015, in an attempt to reinstall a Saudi-friendly president, Hadi. Hadi was ousted by the Ansarullah revolutionaries, who enjoy wide public support, and that is when they took control over the country’s affairs with an aim of eliminating foreign intervention or influence over Yemen.
