Sana’a – SABA:
The "Eye of Humanity" Center for Rights and Development Holds a Press Conference Titled "Ten Years of Aggression and Siege," Revealing Statistics on Crimes Committed by the US-Saudi-UAE Aggression Coalition Against Yemen.
The center's report confirmed that the aggression has resulted in 51,574 civilian casualties, including 18,671 martyrs (among them 4,158 children and 2,497 women) and 32,903 injured (including 5,189 children and 3,095 women). The bombing and siege have also caused widespread destruction of infrastructure, including airports, power plants, roads, bridges, and communication networks, as well as economic facilities such as factories, fuel stations, markets, and food storage centers. This has led to a humanitarian catastrophe, exacerbating poverty, famine, and mortality rates, particularly among children, due to malnutrition and lack of healthcare.
The report highlighted that the coalition systematically targeted civilian facilities, constituting a blatant violation of international law. The blockade has deprived millions of food, medicine, and fuel, which the center described as collective punishment and a crime against humanity. It called on the international community to end the aggression, lift the siege, and hold the perpetrators accountable through an independent international investigation.
The conference also urged increased humanitarian relief efforts and solidarity with the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples, stressing that the restrictions on ports and airports amount to a crime that must be stopped immediately. It reaffirmed that defending the homeland is a legitimate right guaranteed by international law.
The event saw wide attendance from local and international media, as well as human rights activists and civil society organizations, who emphasized the need for greater media and diplomatic efforts to expose the aggression’s crimes to the world.
