Saudi Airstrike Kills 6 Children, 3 Women From Same Yemeni Family

Saudi Airstrike Kills 6 Children, 3 Women From Same Yemeni Family

Alwaght- Saudi airstrike has killed on Friday six children and three women from the same family, in Yemen.

Disturbing videos and imaged has emerged showing the aftermath of the bloody attack in the Mahda district on the southwestern outskirts of Saada city.

Dr Abdel-Ilah al-Azzi, the head of the local health department, said on Friday that three other people were also injured in the attack at dawn on the family home of Taha al-Dharafi in Mahda district on the southwestern outskirts of Saada city.

"We are recording all the crimes of the enemy and we will not forget them," he said. "All the criminals will be put on trial soon, God willing."

Pictures from the scene showed the house completely destroyed by the attack. Residents who rushed to the scene were afraid to start rescue work while aircraft hovered overhead.

The area has previously been targeted by the coalition. In June, at least 25 people were killed at the al-Mashnaq market in the province in what was said to be a Saudi-led coalition airstrike.

The Saudi regime launched an illegal aggression on Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to force back the country's former government to power. The brutal aggression has so far claimed the lives of some 13,000 Yemenis mostly civilians including women and children.

The Saudi military aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, mosques and factories.

Additionally, there have been 1,900 cholera deaths and 440,000 cases since April this year– a number that exceeds the global record of more than 340,000 cases in Haiti for the whole of 2011.

Oxfam predicts the number of victims could reach 600,000 while the World Health Organisation says cholera cases have spread to 21 of the country’s 23 provinces.

Save the Children charity group recently warned that over one million Yemeni children are at risk of dying from cholera due to a Saudi-led aggression and blockade against the impoverished Arab state.
