Alwaght- Human Rights Watch on Sunday, revealed than Saudi-led coalition is using a variety of internationally banned cluster bombs in Yemen.
According to New York-based watchdog, Saudi-led coalition has utilized three types of cluster munitions which are harming civilians, mostly children. Accordingly, they should immediately stop attacks that are harming civilians.
HRW's senior emergencies researcher Ole Solvang said "The Saudi-led coalition and other warring parties in Yemen need to recognize that using banned cluster munitions is very likely to harm civilians," adding in a statement, "These weapons can't distinguish military targets from civilians, and their unexploded sub-munitions threaten civilians, especially children, even long after the fighting", as Almanar reported.
Saudi Arabia keeps killing Yemeni civilians mostly children by dropping 1,300 US-supplied cluster bombs and its remaining bomblets, worth some $641m.
116 countries have adopted an international treaty against cluster bombs, but the United States, Saudi Arabia are not among them. Despite international ban and international concerns, US is selling cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia.
In the past few weeks, the Saudi-led military coalition has used cluster munitions supplied by the United States, Human Rights Watch said in a report released on Sunday, Foreign Policy reported.
According to the World Health Organization, the Saudi aggression has since March killed almost 2,000 people and wounded 8,000, with hundreds of women and children among the casualties.
