Many disabled individuals on Sunday held a protest rally in front of the United Nations’ office in Sana’a, requesting an end to the Saudi-led coalition’s war and lift the air, sea and land blockade on Yemen.

The rally, organized by the National Union of Disabled Persons, condemned the war crimes perpetrated by the coalition against innocent citizens.

The participants confirmed that the four-year-old war, led by the coalition on Yemen, has led to the disability of thousands of Yemeni people amid the world’s deteriorating humanitarian and health situation.

Moreover, the rally called on the international community to compel the coalition countries into stopping the war and lift the siege imposed on Yemen.
