Amnesty: US bomb used in Saudi-led strike on Yemen hospital

A Saudi-led coalition has been battling Houthi rebels in Yemen since March 2015. These claims are raised against the numerous confirmed reports, documenting Saudi Arabia’s war crimes and violation of worldwide law and global humanitarian law.

He said there was “stark evidence that those arms are being used to attack hospitals and other civilian objects and in other serious violations of global humanitarian law”.

It added, “It is surprising that Saudi Arabia would complain to the United Nations about the use of weapons in Yemen even while Saudi Arabia itself has purchased tens of billions in arms that it is using against the Yemeni people”.

The statement from Iran’s U.N. Mission said, “Iran does not believe in a military solution in Yemen and has always urged for cessation of hostilities, dialogue and resort to legal and peaceful mechanisms to achieve a peaceful resolution to this conflict”.

Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf countries have been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis at Hadi’s request despite a ceasefire being agreed in April.

Yemen’s exiled president sacked the head of the central bank on Sunday and ordered it relocated to the southern city of Aden, a move that would ramp up pressure on the Shiite Houthi rebels who control the capital but also bring increased hardship to millions of Yemenis living under their rule.

The findings, published by The Guardian on Friday, further revealed that there were 942 air raids on residential areas, 114 on markets, 34 on mosques, 147 on school buildings, 26 on universities and 378 on transport sites during the mentioned period.
