Eight years of aggression targeting infrastructure in Yemen
[29/March/2023]

SANA'A March 29.2023 (Saba) - Eight years of aggression by the Zionist-American coalition in Yemen, they did not spare anything from their destructive hatred, they destroyed the infrastructure almost completely, destroyed all of Yemen's economic and service capabilities, and set us back decades.

They poured out their anger Yazidi since the first hours of aggression on our infrastructure and blew it up. Still, they did not undermine our determination and the strength of our faith in our homeland, its freedom, independence and the dignity of its children.

The more they destroy a school, factory, playground or tourist monument, the more determined Yemenis are to go to cleanse the Arabian Peninsula from the abomination of these intruders on Arabism, religion and nationalism.

Words no longer have a place in the dictionary of the language to express the horror of the disaster made by the scoundrels of the English, the Zionists and the slaves of the Americans in the land of faith and wisdom. Therefore, we will suffice in this report with the language of numbers, as it is more eloquent in expressing the crimes of the oddity of the storm of prostitution against Yemen land and human.

Infrastructure losses:
There are no overall estimates of the losses caused to infrastructure in Yemen during the eight years of aggression, and the available estimates are conclusions published in April 2017 by a joint study by the World Bank, the United Nations, the Islamic Development Bank, and the European Union.

Infrastructure and capital losses in Yemen were estimated at $15 billion, of which $7 billion was economic losses in nominal terms, and more than $7.3 billion in the production and services sectors.
