Alwaght- Saudi Arabia’s warplanes destroyed a house in the Yemeni city of Hodeidah, killing at least 12 people, including seven children.
The deadly strike was conducted on Monday in the coastal city’s al-Hali district that is home to large numbers of civilians who were displaced by Saudi-led coalitions over three-year aggression against neighboring Yemeni nation.
All the victims of the assault were reportedly members of the same family.
Russia Today published Graphic footage, showing Red Crescent paramedics working at the site of the airstrike, searching through piles of sand and concrete rubble. The rescuers are seen collecting charred corpses and body fragments of the victims. At least one of them appears to be a new-born baby, while other child victims seem to be no older than 10 years old.
Yemen has been since March 2015 under a brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition, in a bid to restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.
Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been injured and killed in Saudi-led strikes, with the vast majority of them are civilians, and displaced more than 2 million, brought millions of civilians to the brink of famine and ultimately led to one of the worst cholera outbreaks in modern history, according to the UN.
The Saudi-led coalition – which also includes UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan and Kuwait – has been also imposing a blockade on the impoverished country’s ports and airports as a part of the aggression.
However, the allied forces of the Yemeni army and popular committees established by Ansarullah revolutionaries have been heroically confronting the aggression with all means, inflicting huge losses upon Saudi-led forces.
