Health Ministry condemns targeting of Al-Sabaeen neighborhood in Sanaa

SANAA, Dec. 23 (YPA) – The Ministry of Public Health and Population condemned on Thursday the continued targeting of residential neighborhoods and citizens by the US-backed Saudi-led Coalition, the latest of which was targeting Al-Sabeen residential neighborhood in the capital, Sanaa.

The ministry indicated, in a statement, that the barbaric targeting caused damage to the homes of citizens, and Al-Sabaeen Maternity and Childhood Hospital, which is the largest reference hospital for mothers and children, and a state of panic occurred among patients and medical staff.

The statement stressed that “the international silence about the crimes of the US-Saudi aggression against the Yemeni people and the infrastructure, including health facilities, encouraged them to continue their arrogance without fearing any punishment.”

The ministry statement called for the perpetrators of these crimes to be prosecuted, especially as their repercussions will lead to the health system’s inability to provide services to the sick and wounded.
