4,500 killed in Yemen in 150 Days of Saudi-led bombing – Mondoweiss

4,500 killed in Yemen in 150 Days of Saudi-led bombing – Mondoweiss



By Ben Norton: In July, I reported that, according to UN figures,
3,000 people had been killed in Yemen in the first 100 days of Saudi-led
bombing, half of whom were civilians.


Just 20 days later, that figure had risen to at least 3,600 dead, with over 17,300 wounded.


July 24 was the bloodiest day of the conflict yet. On that day alone,
coalition air strikes killed over 120 civilians and wounded 150 more in
Ta’iz.


Leading human rights
organizations maintain the US and other Western allies of Saudi Arabia
can be held accountable for war crimes being committed by the coalition.
