Nearly 15,000 different shells of coalition destroyed in Hodeida

SANAA, Feb. 05 (YPA) – The Yemen Executive Mine Action Centre (YEMAC) declared on Sunday it had destroyed nearly 15,000 different shells that left by the Saudi-led coalition forces in Hodeida.

Director of the YEMAC, Brigadier Ali Safra, affirmed in a news statement that the center’s teams managed to purify more than two million square meters of war remnants in Hodeida during the past year.

He pointed out that more than 40 citizens, most of them children, have been killed due the coalition weapons dropped in the province.

“The center is currently facing great difficulties regarding the purification of sand piles and desertification in Hodeida, which covers the coalition arms’ remnants,” Safra added.

He called on the United Nations to enter the mine scanning and detection devices that the coalition prevented from entering Yemen.
