Four Daesh suspected members were killed ,yesterday, as the U.S drones waged an air strike on Marikb province, a security official told YemenExtra.

The strike hit took place in al-Rawdah area.

Al-Qaeda and Daesh elements are armed groups in Marib and Bayda provinces, fighting on the fronts against the Yemeni army foeces.

The coalition has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 16,000 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Despite the coalition’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters,part of the Yemeni army forces, the coalition’s bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

According to several reports, the campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as the coalition’s deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.

Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with more than 22 million people in need and is seeing a spike in needs, fuelled by ongoing conflict, a collapsing economy and diminished social services and livelihoods.

The United States has provided billions of dollars in arms sales to countries participating in the Saudi-led coalition that is fighting a war in Yemen against the Yemeni joint forces  and contributing to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, Oona Hathaway, Director of the Center for Global Legal Challenges at Yale Law School, wrote in a report, in cooperation with a number of Yale Law School students, in Just Security website.

Several Western countries, the United States and Britain in particular, are also accused of being complicit in the ongoing aggression as they supply the Riyadh regime with advanced weapons and military equipment as well as logistical , intelligence and ground assistance.
