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 1st of August 2015 at 1:00 a.m., a bomb dropped by a fighter jet belonging to the Saudi-led Arab coalition force, exploded in three houses in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Al-Hamra village, Tuban district which caused the death of eight civilians, including three women and two children, and wounding three others, including a woman. Three of Ayoub Hanash relatives were killed in the attack, his brother and two of his nephews and another brother was injured. Ayoub said to Mwatana that eight houses were destroyed almost completely and 23 houses were damaged. While casualties were sustained by the families of Saleh bin Saleh, and Mohammed Ahmed Hanash, and Abdul Fattah Mohammed Ismail. They were the families that were inside their homes during the attack. He explained: “Three members of Mohammed Hanash’s family and four members of Saleh bin Saleh’s family, and a child from Abdel Fattah Ismail family were all killed. Three people were wounded and were unable to get out of the village for medical treatment for two days because of internal fighting in the village between the Houthis and The Resistance. When the fighting stopped in Lahj, they were able to go to Aden for treatment, but unfortunately the hospitals were full and they refused to receive new cases. Currently they are being treated in the homes of their relatives.” Ayub clarified that Al-Hamra village is about 10 kilometers away from Al-Hotah city, and that Houthi gunmen were stationed in two locations inside the village which were about 200-300 meters away from the targeted area."
