Description


According to Mwatana for Human Rights: "Despite the statements issued by the Spokesman of the Arab Allied Forces –Brigadier General Ahmed Aseeri- that all precautionary measures were taken to avoid civilian casualties and to ensure the safety and security of all Yemenis, a sizable number of the coalition’ aerial attacks did target civilian areas and resulted in killing and injury of civilian, damage of homes, civil institutions and infrastructures. These violations may tantamount to war crimes in accordance with the International Humanitarian Law. [...] On the morning of the 3rd of July 2015 Saudi-led Arab coalition forces killed four civilians, three children and a woman, and wounded eight others, including three children and two women when the coalition bombarded Al-Jeraf area in the capital Sana’a. The Coalition planes bombed a densely populated area while the residents were sleeping according to a relative of the victims. He said that number of innocent people were killed in the air strikes including several children. He also mentioned that the victims were rushed to Al-Moayad, Azal, and Saudi German hospitals." [+]
