Description


According to Mwatana for Human Rights: "Section Two: Attacks and Abuses in 2019 This section consists of eleven chapters dealing with the most prominent patterns of international humanitarian law violations committed by the parties to the conflict in Yemen. Additionally, each chapter includes statistics about the number of incidents Mwatana documented during 2019, in addition to a brief legal framework for each pattern of violations and some case studies. [...] On Tuesday, September 24, 2019, at approximately 08:30 a.m., Saudi/UAE-led coalition aircraft dropped two bombs on two adjacent houses in Hammam al-Nabija village, Bilad al-Youbi area, Qa’atabah District, Al Dhalea Governorate. The attack killed ten civilians, including four children and three women, wounded six others, including two children, destroyed one house and almost destroyed the other. A quarter of an hour later, aircraft dropped a third bomb on a Toyota pickup owned by one of the victim’s neighbors while he was helping the wounded. Ahmed Hammoud (62 years old), the owner of one of the two houses, said: “I heard the sound of the plane while I was on the roof of my house next to my brother Ali’s house. I did not pay much attention to the sound of the plane. I thought that hardship and an agricultural life would keep us away from the fire of war.” A relative of the victims (50 years old) said: “No one could have expected what happened to the whole family. They were killed, and those who survived became homeless.”" [+]
