In Pictures: Coalition turns popular market in Saada into mass executions yard

SANAA, July 30 (YPA) – It is a popular market in the origin, a destination of civilians from villages in specific days of week for sale and purchase. But the coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, as it has used to do over four years and four months since the start of its ongoing war, has turned it into a new mass executions yard.

Also as usual, the direct and shyly condemnations of the new crime committed by the Saudi-UAE coalition in Yemen continue, as a “complete war crime” according to the international humanitarian law, international criminal law and international war rules.

They are just condemnations without any actions. Targeting of Al Thabet popular market in Qutaber district of Saada province by the coalition warplanes is not the first attack of its kind for more than four years from the start of the war, as it was preceded by targeting dozens of markets in Yemen, which left thousands of victims.

The death toll from the coalition airstrikes on Al Thabet popular market on Monday evening reached 14 dead, including 4 children, and 26 wounded, including 14 children, according to Director of the Republican Hospital in Saada.

Some families lost between five to four of its members, they are often a father and his sons and their cousins, while other families lost at least two of its members, along with other wounded, just because they went out to sell their crops or for shopping, when the coalition decided to carry out a new mass executions of Yemenis.

This market like any other, well-known landmark for decades, and it is exist on Google Earth maps of the Republic of Yemen, and nothing calls for targeting it except the desire of murder.

More than 80,000 civilians have been killed, including hundreds of thousands of wounded and some three million displaced as a result of the coalition’s bombing on their homes, villages and towns, and about 20 million Yemenis became poor and on the edge of famine, according to UN organizations’ reports.
