Seven Yemenis Martyred, Seventeen Others Injured In Fresh Saudi Massacre

At least seven people, including women and children, have been killed after Saudi-led warplanes carried out airstrikes against an area in Yemen’s southwestern province of Dhale.

Yemeni Ministry of Public Health and Population said 17 others sustained injuries when Saudi fighter jets conducted aerial assaults against Qatabah district on Saturday, according to Press TV.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television network said six children and a woman were among the killed, while the injured included 11 children, five women and an elderly man.

 Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power.

According to reports, the Saudi-led war has claimed the lives of over 60,000 Yemenis since January 2016.

France, the United States, Britain and some other Western countries have faced criticisms over arms sales to the Saudi regime and its allies, whose aggression against Yemen has affected 28 million people and caused what the United Nations calls “one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.”

In the latest protests against the arms exports, French human rights protesters held demonstrations on Thursday in a bid to block the loading of weapons onto a Saudi vessel that was due to dock in northern France later in the day
