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 22 September, 2015, the Saudi-led Arab coalition forces bombed Abdullah Al-Wazir School in Bani Hushish District with four bombs. This District is located 30 Kilometers north-east of the capital Sana’a. Three of the bombs exploded inside the school and one exploded just outside the school resulting in the death of three civilians, including two children, and wounding a woman and a child. The bombs caused considerable damage to the school. The first bomb fell outside the school yard while the second fell inside the school yard but did not explode, while the third and fourth bombs fell and exploded inside the school yard. Zaid Othman, whom Mwatana interviewed, is 18 years old and studies at the school, said that the coalition forces launched four air strikes on Abdullah Al-Wazir School at 8:30 a.m., but the school was empty of students because of the summer holidays. Zaid explains: “The first bomb fell outside the school wall, about approximately 10 meters. Then minutes later, not exceeding five, three consecutive bombs hit the school and the residence in which Mr. Hisham (a teacher) lives. Mr. Hisham along with two of his sons died, and his wife and his young son survived, but they are in a very critical condition. The scene was terrifying, and when I looked to my teacher, I felt fear and grief. When we entered to try to rescue the family of Mr. Hisham, we could not rescue or rush anyone to the hospital until after the fourth raid because they did not make it possible for us to do so. We took the risk after the fourth bomb and entered the school. We were confident that the planes will resume the bombing once again, but thank God they did not.” Zaid continues: “I don’t know why they destroyed our school where students study from first grade through high school. We have built an extension to the school painstakingly after we finally secured and received support from the parents of the students. There are no militants or any sign of armed activities inside the school. It is the largest school in the area and now it is destroyed and we can no longer study again.” Another witness, Mujeb Al-Rahman Al-Nunu, 35 years old, a teacher at the school, recounts the circumstances of the incident saying that the children of his colleague Hisham were playing with their bikes in the school yard while their father, who was not far away from the school, was on his way to the market when the first bomb fell next to the school so he returned quickly to his family. Al-Nunu continues his story by saying: “The mother and her small child were inside one of the classrooms where they (the family members) had been living, and two sons were playing in the school yard. The second bomb fell after nearly five minutes of the first bomb, then the rest of the bombs fell killing him and his two children. The mother and her young son survived because they were inside and they are now in the hospital.” The School Headmaster Mr. Othman Yahya (40 years old) told Mwatana, that Hisham and his family had been living in the school for ten years, which was built with funding from the State of Kuwait in 1972 and graduated thousands of students, which will double the negative impact of the destruction, especially as it was working 2 shifts system; morning for male students and afternoon for female students. Located near the school, there is a big market, and during the air strikes there was panic among shoppers and vendors and they all rushed to look for places to hide, thinking that the strikes will hit the market." ^[+]
