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. [...] An airstrike, on 5 May 2015 on Al Al-Thabyan village which is located about 20 kilometers to the north-west of Sada’a city, killed eight civilians from the same family, seven children and a woman, when a Saudi-led Arab coalition forces plane bombed a house in this agricultural village around 2:00 a.m. in the morning. Mwatana noticed during its investigation that a major destruction came upon the targeted house which is owned by Mohammed Al-Habbi and is located near a farm he owns as well. The nearest facility to Al-Habbi house is about 50 meters away and it’s a complex containing agricultural equipment owned by Moaith Abo Meskah and it was bombed more than once after the Houthis seized it. Hassan Yahya, a 26 years old farmer and Al-Habbi neighbor, said to Mwatana “I was in my farm when the plane hit the home of Mohammed Al-Habbi. The entire place shook and I lost my ability to hear for a short time. I went immediately to his house to rescue his family and I found him crying out loud. No one from his family was spared except him as he was outside the house when the strike hit.” Another witness said: “Coalition’s fighter jets bombed Mohammed Al-Habbi’s house wrongfully and in total aggression. He had no relationship with the Houthis. I never saw him in any day carrying a gun with Houthi sticker or slogan. He never said even once that he is with them or supporting them. All his family members died and now he has no family and no property. His life is difficult and full of hardship. I do not think that I could live if I were in his place. I think he is now living in his brother’s house in Sada’a city, if he is not insane yet."" [+]
