24th Nov 2015, entire families buried in homes in Hajjah Yemen when Saudi led airstrike targets residential area

On the 24th November 2015, the Saudi led coalition launched 4 consecutive airstrikes on a residential area in the Aham district of Hajjah governorate in Yemen, destroying 2 adjacent homes housing 4 families. Bodies from the family of Mr Naser Monser Alhaj were retrieved and other families were believed to still be buried under the rubble at the time of the video report below. 

Distraught eye witnesses in the video call on Muslims around the world to question if daily bombardments with 5 to 6 raids is acceptable by God and the Prophet.

The Legal Center for Rights and Development based in Yemen later confirmed that at least 10 people were killed in this incident and that 15 were injured, including 3 women and 5 children.

WARNING: the media below is graphic and distressing. It is placed here as evidence as war crimes to call for an independent investigation and to call on the international community to respect the Arms Treaty by stopping the supply of weapons to Saudi Arabic as they are clearly targeting civilians.

A brief translation of the video below is as follows:
The Saudi-led coalition bombarded 3 homes belonging to Mr Abd Allah , Mr Abd Allah Mansour and Mr Khattab Ali Nagy, in Salah ,Taiz, killing eight out of which 4 were children, turning their homes into piles of rubble. Only 2 women and an infant miraculously survived to see their entire family either killed or missing under their destroyed homes. After the strikes, neighbors ran to rescue the victims, however they were stopped short when Saudi militias opened fire on them.


A brief translation of the video below is as follows:
A new massacre was committed by the Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Salah, Taiz on the house of Haj Abdallah Mansour Ibrahim, a home where women and orphan children reside. The airstrike demolished the house and killed eight, four of which were children.

4th Nov 2015, poor family hit picking strawberries hit by Saudi led coalition airstrike in Yemen

On 4th November 2015 at 8.45 am, the Saudi led coalition airstrikes hit a strawberry farm in the village of Safia Tamesh in the Sanhan region, Sana'a Governorate, Yemen, where a poor family were picking strawberries to earn a living.

A neighbour of the family reported that 9 people were injured, of which 2 were women and 4 were children. 2 of the injured children were reported as seriously injured.

Apparently the rocket was clearly seen fired from a plane by most of the villagers due to the time that it was dropped in the morning.

In the video below the children are about to be driven to the hospital shortly after the incident. The man is repeatedly saying 'they striked in the middle of strawberry farm' and he also says to the children 'don't be scared, God shall take our revenge'.

WARNING: the following video is moderately graphic and you may find it distressing.


The neighbour also sent the photos below of the crater in the field after the airstrike, as well as a photo of some of the fragments that they found on the scene. He commented that it was a surprise that nobody was killed.

2nd Nov 2015, banned cluster munitions dropped by Saudi led coalition on area of Bani Sayah, Razeh, Yemen

On the 2nd November 2015, the Almasirah TV channel published further evidence of the Saudi led coalition dropping internationally banned cluster munitions on the Bani Sayah district in Razeh directorate in Saadah governorate.

The following video explains that the area had been under continuous bombardment over the previous 20 days, suffering more than 70 raids, during which cluster munitions were dropped, some detonating immediately and others lying in fields, waterways and roads where any unfortunate person or animal may stumble upon them.

Villagers speak of Saudi atrocities and their loss of family members as well as livestock. They highlight that due to the rural location, those people injured do not have access to medical attention. There are no ambulances or other modes of transport by which to take the injured to reach medical care, which results in an increase in the number of fatalities.
