Yemen’s
Ministry of Health and Environment announced that Saudi attacks and those carried out by Saudi-backed forces killed and wounded 82 civilians across six provinces over the past 10 days, from September 3 to 10.
In a statement, the ministry said that 44 people were killed, including five children, three women, while 38 others were wounded, including 11 children, five women. The attacks targeted the provinces of Jawf, Hodeidah, Taiz, Saada, Sana’a, and Hajjah.
The ministry stated that the death toll from the Saudi bombing of the Central Correctional Facility in Al-Jawf alone reached 35 people killed and seven wounded.
It added that the latest incidents constitute part of Saudi Arabia’s longstanding record of attacks against Yemeni civilians, including strikes on prisons, displacement camps, markets, schools, mosques, and other civilian sites.
The ministry also condemned international silence and UN complicity over the attacks, calling for an end to double standards in the application of international law and demanding that Saudi Arabia be held accountable and returned to the list of shame.
The intensified airstrikes come as the Saudi regime faces increasingly effective military responses from the Yemeni Armed Forces, which have added to its mounting economic losses.
The escalation underscores Riyadh’s continued efforts to sustain military pressure on Yemen and advance a US-Zionist agenda, despite the growing costs of the conflict.
