The ignored genocide of Yemen
By: Firestarter Date: January 31, 2019, 11:52 am
---------------------------------------------------------
The genocide in Yemen is ignored by most media. This could be
the single worst case of genocide since the 1950s, and if nobody
blows the whistle it will continue...
The state media blame the supposed “civil war” on the Houthis or
Saudi Arabia, but in reality it is another genocide orchestrated
by the United Nations, UK, USA, UAE and Saudi Arabia.
After the war against Yemen was intensified in March 2015, in
2016 alone more than 50,000 Yemeni children died of “preventable
causes”, and since then the situation has gotten even worse.
Most Yemenis have died not directly from the bombs of the
“coalition” but because of starvation and disease as food
supplies, agriculture, energy and water utilities were targeted.
It’s hard to estimate the total death toll, but I would be
surprised if it is less than 400,000...
See a Yemeni girl, dying of hunger.

Two thousand children per week die
A lot of reports, based on information of the UN, state that
“more than 10,000” civilians in Yemen have died because of the
bombs by Saudi Arabia. Much more than that is dying because of
starvation.
In December 2016, UNICEF already knew that: [quote][B]At least
one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen. That’s the conclusion
of a report just published by the U.N. children’s agency,
UNICEF.[/B] The report also found that there has been a 200
percent increase since 2014 in children suffering from severe
acute malnutrition, with almost half a million affected. Nearly
2.2 million children are in need of urgent care.[/quote]
HTML https://www.democracynow.org/2016/12/15/journalist_iona_craig_the_us_could
(archived here:
HTML http://archive.is/nE6An)
Let’s do the math.
At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen.
More than 6 per hour.
More than 144 per day.
More than 1000 per week.
More than 4320 per month.
More than 52,500 per year.
Already in April 2015 (that’s almost 4 years ago!), food
supplies across Yemen were running out, and petrol stations
empty. As the blockade continues, the country’s food shortage
becomes even more severe.
Yemen Economic Corporation, one of Yemen’s largest food storage
centres, was destroyed by 3 missiles of the coalition:
HTML http://www.thenational.ae/world/middle-east/yemeni-civilians-struggle-to-get-by-amid-conflict
Attacks on electricity and water installations as well as food
storage centres will inevitably cause severe harm to civilians:
HTML https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/05/18/dispatches-renewed-fighting-yemen-should-not-mean-renewed-violations
In a press conference in January 2018, the Yemeni Ministry of
Health says that because of the war against Yemen, [B]52,000
children died in 2016 for preventable causes[/B]. That’s 1000
every week, almost a child every 10 minutes.
[B]Some 35,000 Yemenis were killed or wounded by airstrikes
since the war started in March 2015. That’s about 35 people
every day.[/B]
The war by the coalition has also triggered a cholera outbreak
that has killed 2,236 people so far.
Because of the ceaseless aggression, more than 55% of the health
facilities don’t function, and the remaining 45% operates with a
minimum capacity.
As a direct result of the airstrikes, 415 health facilities have
been destroyed, either completely or partially.
Some 2 million Yemeni children suffer from malnutrition, of
which half a million are dying of starvation.
According to the World Food Programme, more than 21 million
Yemenis are in need of humanitarian assistance, and more than 9
million are expected to enter the stage of starvation:

Since December 2016 the famine in Yemen has become even worse...
Michelle Nunn of Care USA, estimated 1 1/years ago that “[I]A
child dies in Yemen every 5 minutes[/I]”; more than 2000 per
week, more than 104,000 per year.
The biggest arm suppliers to Saudi Arabia, are: 1) the United
States with 52.0% and 2) Britain 27.1%.
The remaining 20.8% is exported to Saudi Arabia, by countries
that include: Spain, France, Switzerland, Canada, Germany,
Turkey, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, China,
South Africa, Georgia, Austria, Slovakia, and Bulgaria:

[B]UNICEF blatantly lying[/B]
I’ve actually based some of this story on the information from
the UN...
“[I]At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen[/I]” means
that more than a thousand children died every single week from
starvation in 2016 (more than 52,000 a year)…
Since then the human catastrophe has gotten even worse, at this
moment more than 104,000 Yemeni child die per year…
Now it gets really strange as the United Nations ignores its own
information that “[I]At least one child dies every 10 minutes in
Yemen[/I]” to come up in January 2018 with a total of 13,600
Yemenis that were killed…
According to UNICEF: [quote]Over 5,000 children have been killed
by Saudi Arabia's war on Yemen since it began in March 2015,
says a report by the UN children's agency.
(…)
The report published by UNICEF on Tuesday, noted that the Saudi
war had killed "an average of five children every day since
March 2015."
(…)
More than 13,600 people have been killed since the onset of the
Saudi-led war on Yemen in 2015.[/quote]
HTML http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/01/17/549176/yemen-saudi-arabia-children-killed
(archived here:
HTML http://archive.is/a6tYF)
Technically speaking, calling more than 200,000 dying Yemeni
children “[I]Over 5,000 children[/I]” isn’t a lie, but it is
kind of misleading…
There’s no denying that saying “[I]the Saudi war had killed an
average of five children every day since March 2015[/I]” is a
blatant lie!
According to the UN’s Geert Cappelaere: [quote]The war in Yemen
is sadly a war on children. Yemen is facing the worst
humanitarian crisis I have ever seen in my life.[/quote]
UNICEF in its greatest philanthropic disguise flew 1.9 million
doses of vaccines to Yemen to vaccinate 600,000 children against
diphtheria, meningitis, whopping cough, pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
Maybe somebody can tell these “humanitarian” organisations that
vaccines don’t offer immunity against starvation and lack of
clean drinking water...
Two UNICEF vessels carrying food and water purification tables
and medicines have not received clearance to dock in Hodeida:
HTML http://archive.is/cldvU
According to Mark Lowcock, UN undersecretary-general for
humanitarian affairs, the “coalition” blockade of Yemen, will
lead to: [quote][B]the largest famine the world has seen for
many decades with millions of victims.[/B][/quote]
The UN Security Council “demanded” that Saudi Arabia will open
all borders into Yemen and allow humanitarian aid deliveries
into the country. Sure: “ask” them politely…
The French Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported that its
flights were denied clearance into Yemen for 3 days.
The International Red Cross said its shipment of chlorine
tablets, to “fight cholera”. No clean water or food, but
fighting “cholera” and vaccines are priority number one:
HTML http://www.dw.com/en/yemen-facing-largest-famine-in-decades-if-blockade-isnt-lifted-un-aid-chief-says/a-41308061
Yemen starved to death
Tariq Riebl, an aid worker for an international humanitarian
organisation stated:
[quote]I witnessed about a thousand air strikes. Some of them
were very close. I almost burst my eardrum in one.[/quote] In
Sanaa the strikes lasted up to five hours, “[quote]You’d have
that four to six times a day. It would start randomly. It was
the middle of the night, middle of the day, morning, night,
afternoon, anytime. Consistently on holidays, on Fridays, in the
middle of prayer time, market days (…)
Let’s be very clear, the civilian targeting is absolutely
astounding. I’ve seen hospitals, mosques, marketplaces,
restaurants, power plants, universities, residential houses,
just bombed, office buildings, bombed. Everything is a target.
In Saada, there were dead donkeys on the side of all the main
roads because the Saudis were hitting donkey carts. In Hajjah,
the water tank in one of the towns got hit, and it sits on a
lonesome little hill.[/quote]
The result of the blockade and the bombing is that 7 million of
the country’s 27 million population is on the verge of
starvation. The number of food insecure people in Yemen has
risen by three million during seven months. More than 17 million
Yemenis are forced to skip meals.
The UN International Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned that
462,000 children are suffering from acute malnutrition in Yemen.
UNICEF said that at least 370,000 children are at risk of severe
malnutrition, and without urgent treatment will die. An
estimated 1.5 million children are malnourished.
According to repeated statements from the UN, over 14 million
Yemenis (more than half the population) are living in hunger.
The threat of mass starvation is compounded by a rapidly
spreading cholera epidemic.
In other words, with the aid of the developed world, Saudi
Arabia and its allies are starving an entire population – that’s
genocide.
The USA has sold a whopping $115 billion to Saudi Arabia since
Obama took office:

In December 2016, UNICEF already knew that: [quote][B]At least
one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen. That’s the conclusion
of a report just published by the U.N. children’s agency,
UNICEF.[/B] The report also found that there has been a 200
percent increase since 2014 in children suffering from severe
acute malnutrition, with almost half a million affected. Nearly
2.2 million children are in need of urgent care.[/quote]

Let’s do the math.
At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen.
More than 6 per hour.
More than 144 per day.
More than 1000 per week.
More than 4320 per month.
More than 52,500 per year.
Already in April 2015 (that’s almost 4 years ago!), food
supplies across Yemen were running out, and petrol stations
empty. As the blockade continues, the country’s food shortage
becomes even more severe.
Yemen Economic Corporation, one of Yemen’s largest food storage
centres, was destroyed by 3 missiles of the coalition:

Attacks on electricity and water installations as well as food
storage centres will inevitably cause severe harm to civilians:

In a press conference in January 2018, the Yemeni Ministry of
Health says that because of the war against Yemen, [B]52,000
children died in 2016 for preventable causes[/B]. That’s 1000
every week, almost a child every 10 minutes.
[B]Some 35,000 Yemenis were killed or wounded by airstrikes
since the war started in March 2015. That’s about 35 people
every day.[/B]
The war by the coalition has also triggered a cholera outbreak
that has killed 2,236 people so far.
Because of the ceaseless aggression, more than 55% of the health
facilities don’t function, and the remaining 45% operates with a
minimum capacity.
As a direct result of the airstrikes, 415 health facilities have
been destroyed, either completely or partially.
Some 2 million Yemeni children suffer from malnutrition, of
which half a million are dying of starvation.
According to the World Food Programme, more than 21 million
Yemenis are in need of humanitarian assistance, and more than 9
million are expected to enter the stage of starvation:

Since December 2016 the famine in Yemen has become even worse...
Michelle Nunn of Care USA, estimated 1 1/years ago that “[I]A
child dies in Yemen every 5 minutes[/I]”; more than 2000 per
week, more than 104,000 per year.
The biggest arm suppliers to Saudi Arabia, are: 1) the United
States with 52.0% and 2) Britain 27.1%.
The remaining 20.8% is exported to Saudi Arabia, by countries
that include: Spain, France, Switzerland, Canada, Germany,
Turkey, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, China,
South Africa, Georgia, Austria, Slovakia, and Bulgaria:

[B]UNICEF blatantly lying[/B]
I’ve actually based some of this story on the information from
the UN...
“[I]At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen[/I]” means
that more than a thousand children died every single week from
starvation in 2016 (more than 52,000 a year)…
Since then the human catastrophe has gotten even worse, at this
moment more than 104,000 Yemeni child die per year…
Now it gets really strange as the United Nations ignores its own
information that “[I]At least one child dies every 10 minutes in
Yemen[/I]” to come up in January 2018 with a total of 13,600
Yemenis that were killed…
According to UNICEF: [quote]Over 5,000 children have been killed
by Saudi Arabia's war on Yemen since it began in March 2015,
says a report by the UN children's agency.
(…)
The report published by UNICEF on Tuesday, noted that the Saudi
war had killed "an average of five children every day since
March 2015."
(…)
More than 13,600 people have been killed since the onset of the
Saudi-led war on Yemen in 2015.[/quote]
HTML http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/01/17/549176/yemen-saudi-arabia-children-killed
(archived here:
HTML http://archive.is/a6tYF)
Technically speaking, calling more than 200,000 dying Yemeni
children “[I]Over 5,000 children[/I]” isn’t a lie, but it is
kind of misleading…
There’s no denying that saying “[I]the Saudi war had killed an
average of five children every day since March 2015[/I]” is a
blatant lie!
According to the UN’s Geert Cappelaere: [quote]The war in Yemen
is sadly a war on children. Yemen is facing the worst
humanitarian crisis I have ever seen in my life.[/quote]
UNICEF in its greatest philanthropic disguise flew 1.9 million
doses of vaccines to Yemen to vaccinate 600,000 children against
diphtheria, meningitis, whopping cough, pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
Maybe somebody can tell these “humanitarian” organisations that
vaccines don’t offer immunity against starvation and lack of
clean drinking water...
Two UNICEF vessels carrying food and water purification tables
and medicines have not received clearance to dock in Hodeida:

According to Mark Lowcock, UN undersecretary-general for
humanitarian affairs, the “coalition” blockade of Yemen, will
lead to: [quote][B]the largest famine the world has seen for
many decades with millions of victims.[/B][/quote]
The UN Security Council “demanded” that Saudi Arabia will open
all borders into Yemen and allow humanitarian aid deliveries
into the country. Sure: “ask” them politely…
The French Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported that its
flights were denied clearance into Yemen for 3 days.
The International Red Cross said its shipment of chlorine
tablets, to “fight cholera”. No clean water or food, but
fighting “cholera” and vaccines are priority number one:

Yemen starved to death
Tariq Riebl, an aid worker for an international humanitarian
organisation stated:
[quote]I witnessed about a thousand air strikes. Some of them
were very close. I almost burst my eardrum in one.[/quote] In
Sanaa the strikes lasted up to five hours, “[quote]You’d have
that four to six times a day. It would start randomly. It was
the middle of the night, middle of the day, morning, night,
afternoon, anytime. Consistently on holidays, on Fridays, in the
middle of prayer time, market days (…)
Let’s be very clear, the civilian targeting is absolutely
astounding. I’ve seen hospitals, mosques, marketplaces,
restaurants, power plants, universities, residential houses,
just bombed, office buildings, bombed. Everything is a target.
In Saada, there were dead donkeys on the side of all the main
roads because the Saudis were hitting donkey carts. In Hajjah,
the water tank in one of the towns got hit, and it sits on a
lonesome little hill.[/quote]
The result of the blockade and the bombing is that 7 million of
the country’s 27 million population is on the verge of
starvation. The number of food insecure people in Yemen has
risen by three million during seven months. More than 17 million
Yemenis are forced to skip meals.
The UN International Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned that
462,000 children are suffering from acute malnutrition in Yemen.
UNICEF said that at least 370,000 children are at risk of severe
malnutrition, and without urgent treatment will die. An
estimated 1.5 million children are malnourished.
According to repeated statements from the UN, over 14 million
Yemenis (more than half the population) are living in hunger.
The threat of mass starvation is compounded by a rapidly
spreading cholera epidemic.
In other words, with the aid of the developed world, Saudi
Arabia and its allies are starving an entire population – that’s
genocide.
The USA has sold a whopping $115 billion to Saudi Arabia since
Obama took office:

War crimes
By: Firestarter Date: February 1, 2019, 11:24 am
---------------------------------------------------------
You might think that you understand what war crimes are under
international law...
In early 2011, the people in Yemen started demonstrations
against the corrupt dictatorial regime. President, dictator
Saleh eventually resigned in favour of his vice president,
endorsed by the USA and Saudi Arabia, Mansour Hadi. Hadi ran for
president in 2012 and won the election — he was the only
candidate. This failed to mollify the Houthis. In September 2014
they marched into Sanaa and placed Hadi under house arrest.
For many years the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia bought large amounts
of weapons - bombers, bombs, and missiles – from the USA,
Britain, France, and other NATO countries. Saudi Arabia bought
84 Boeing F-15‘s, 170 helicopters, bombs and missiles (including
1300 cluster bombs sold by Textron for $641 million). This sale
totalled $60 billion: the largest arms sale in US history.
The United Nations passed a Security Council resolution that
demanded the unconditional surrender of the Houthi Ansarullah
movement. On 25 March 2015, the Royal Saudi Air Force went into
action. Six days later, the Saudi-led coalition imposed a
blockade of Houthi-held areas.
The Houthis were proclaimed terrorists for fighting against a
dictator favoured by the international elite but not supported
by the Yemenis; they also claimed that the Houthis are connected
to Iran. The USA supplied “logistical and intelligence support”
to the “coalition”, including training, intelligence, while US
Navy ships aided in the blockade.
Yemen imported more than 90% of its food, fuel, cooking gas, and
medicine. The effect of the blockade is devastating, and is
worsened by the bombs (including carpet bombs and phosphorous
bombs) that target infrastructure and agriculture.
According to Peter Maurer, head of the International Red Cross:
“Yemen after five months looks like Syria after five years”.
Maurer attributed this to the fighting, bombing, and the
blockade:
HTML http://harpers.org/archive/2016/09/acceptable-losses/?single=1
Because the UN resolution against the Houthis, the bombs by the
“coalition” on Yemen aren´t even a war crime per definition.
What makes it a war crime, though, is that the “coalition” has
intentionally targeted civilian targets...
I’ve finally found an estimate of the total death toll as a
result of the war against Yemen, including the hundreds of
thousands caused by starvation, from March 2018.
According to a statement by a Yemeni minister...
The military aggression has indirectly killed almost 300,000
civilians, including more than 247,000 children.
Most of the people died due to severe malnutrition, some 17,608
because they were unable to get medical treatment.
On top of that, the bloody war by the “coalition” on Yemen has
also injured more than 300,000 civilians, since it started in
March 2015.
The Britain-led coalition bombed:
- 660 food storages and 200 food factories.
- 4,586 fishing boats, 93 fish landing centres, killing tens of
fishermen.
- 1,016 farms.
- 535 markets.
- 271 factories.
- 600 mosques and tourist facilities.
- 393 archaeological sites.
- 2,641 educational centres were destroyed, leaving 2.5 million
students unable to go to school or university.
- 9 civilian airports, 14 ports, 5,000 kilometres of roads, 95
bridges.
- 400 telecommunication facilities.
- 420 power stations, 450 oil and gas equipment or trucks.
- 85 sports stadiums.

The few stories about this catastrophe often call for “health
care”. I can tell from personal experience that when you’re on
the verge of starvation, you need food instead of doctors. This
can be illustrated with the following quote from a mother that
was offered spoons and dishes by a businessman, and replied to
this gift:
[quote]There is no food, no pure water, no electricity, nothing.
One day, a businessperson came to us and give us dishes and
spoons but I told him sarcastically, ‘What should we do with
these? Eat the soil?’ [/quote]
Millions of Yemenis don’t have clean water to drink, which
causes illness, so they require medical care…
Following is a June 2017 overview of the destruction of Yemen by
the UK-US-Saudi led coalition.
2.5 million - people displaced.
404.485 - Houses destroyed and/or damaged.
1733 - Bridges and roads destroyed.
162 - Electrical power plants destroyed.
294 - Health facilities destroyed.
According to the official numbers a total 12.574 people have
been killed.
Please don’t do the math or you might lose some sleep over this:
1000 Yemeni children die every single week (of course throwing
bombs on the food supply doesn’t count as a war crime...).
1784 - Agricultural fields destroyed.
221 - Poultry farms destroyed.
676 - Food stores destroyed.
528 - Food tankers destroyed.
In the night of 22/23 August, starting at midnight, the
UK/US-led coalition carried out a bombing campaign of at least
25 air strikes on the outskirts and north of the capital of
Yemen, Sanaa.
At least 35 people were killed when a hotel to the north of
Sanaa, which housed mainly QAT-farmers, was destroyed. Some
sources claim that the death toll is at least 60.
According to the deaf, dumb and blind UN, “more than 10,000”
people have been killed since March 2015, blatantly ignoring
that 1000 Yemeni children die every single week.
According to a report by the Protection Cluster in Yemen (part
of the wonderful UNHCR organisation), there were more air
strikes in Yemen from January to June 2017 (5,676) than in the
whole of 2016 (3,396).
According to the Protection Cluster, 14 million Yemenis are food
insecure and don’t have access to clean water (more than 50% of
the population) of which 8.2 million are in acute need of help.
According to the Guardian in July 2015, 20 million Yemenis are
in need of aid.
The expected winners of the genocide in Yemen are Isis and
al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP):

it’s like to have no clean water to drink.
368 - Water tanks and networks have been destroyed:

The following report shows that in 2015, 2016 many civilian
targets were hit by the coalition.
From October 2015 to March 2016 more civilian targets than
military targets were hit every month with the exception of
January 2016.

Martha Mundy’s report from October 2018 shows that the
coalition’s bombing campaign of Yemen is aimed at the food
production and distribution of food in rural Yemen, and on
fishing along the Red Sea coast. This IS – per definition – a
war crime, supported by UK, US, and the UN.
On 9 August in Dahyan a school bus was struck by a US-made
guided missile.
On 23 August, again south of Hodeidah, a bus with women and
children was attacked.
There was a pause, but from early September the Coalition has
renewed their at¬tempts to cut off and seize Hodeidah.
On 16 September, UAE naval forces fired a rocket on a boat with
18 fishermen, after interroga¬ting them, killing all but one.
The following figure shows the percentage of civilian, military
and unknown targets in several districts- March 2015 - March
2018:
HTML https://sites.tufts.edu/wpf/wp-content/uploads/sites/3684/nggallery/maps-and-figures-from-strategies-of-the-coalition-war-in-yemen/Figure-1.jpg
Starting in August 2015 there was a shift from military to
civilian targets, including water and transport infrastructure,
food production and distribution, schools, hospitals, houses,
fields and flocks:
HTML https://sites.tufts.edu/wpf/wp-content/uploads/sites/3684/nggallery/maps-and-figures-from-strategies-of-the-coalition-war-in-yemen/Figure-2.jpg
Fishing installations were likewise damaged, virtually every
fish-offloading port along the coast has been targeted.
Agricultural land was the target most frequently hit. As
agriculture covered less than 3% of Yemen’s total surface, it’s
obvious that agriculture land is specifically aimed at.
Because of the bombing campaign on agriculture, people actually
left the countryside to take refuge on the outskirts of cities.
This has resulted in a lack of farmers to work the land.
See a map of agricultural targets in September - October 2015
(when most bombs were thrown), and all targets:

How many killed?
By: Firestarter Date: February 2, 2019, 11:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
In 2016, stories about Yemen reported that “more than 10,000
Yemenis died” and that “Yemen is on the verge of starvation”.
More than 2 years later the same things are reported...
While I think that 400,000 dead Yemenis is a good low estimate,
the real number could be much higher!
In September 2018, the UN concluded that more than 18 million
Yemenis are in danger of dying from starvation by the end of
2018 (about 65% of the population). That estimate includes more
than 2 million children.
The UN did nothing to prevent the “coalition” to bomb Yemen and
block all aid shipments from reaching the starving population.
The UN took $300 million from Saudi Arabia to provide Yemen with
“urgent humanitarian aid” (like cholera vaccines).
Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia has conducted over 230,000
airstrikes, which deliberately target Yemen’s food and drinking
water.
According to the UN, 250,000 Yemenis could die from the military
assault on Hodeidah alone.
Although Saudi Arabia gets most of the bad press on the genocide
of Yemen, it’s the United Arab Emirates that leads the assault
on Hodeidah:

(archived here:

HTML https://youtu.be/cZP7CLDx6Vc
In September 2018, it was also reported that 400,000 Yemeni
children are so severely malnourished that they are fighting for
their lives.
August was the bloodiest month in Yemen in 2018, with 981
civilians, including over 300 children, killed or injured by
“coalition” bombs. That’s on top of the more than 4000 Yemeni
children that die from “preventable causes” every single
month...
A 29-30 August poll by YouGov for Save the Children and Avaaz
published Yesterday found that 63% of the British public opposes
the sale of weapons to the Saudis (while 13% support these arms
sales). The poll also found that only 14% thinks that the UK’s
role in supporting the “coalition” reflects “British values and
interests”.
The poll showed that for the first time, a majority of
Conservative voters (52%) oppose arms sales to the “coalition”.
Saudi Arabia is the largest buyer of British arms. The UK has
licensed more than £4.6 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia
since March 2015.
In the wake of the poll, MPs have scheduled an emergency debate
on Yemen:

Civilian deaths in Yemen have skyrocketed by 164% since the
“coalition” started their campaign to seize Hodeidah, according
to a new report by the Armed Location and Event Data group.
The average number of civilian deaths (caused directly by the
war) in Yemen each month has risen to 116 since the coalition
launched their offensive.
August was Yemen's most violent month in 2018, with nearly 500
people killed in only 9 days:

In September 2018, Saudi warplanes struck fishing boats in
waters 90 kilometres (56 miles) south of Hodeidah, killing 18
people.
Elsewhere artillery rounds and mortar shells were launched by
the Saudi army in the Razih district in Yemen’s north-western
province of Sa’ada.
As the result of another Saudi airstrike, two civilians were
killed and a bulldozer destroyed in the al-Durayhimi district of
the Hodeidah province:
HTML https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/09/18/574531/Saudi-airstrike-leaves-18-Yemeni-fishermen-dead-off-Khokha-coast
Journalists and humanitarian workers have often cited a figure
of “more than 10,000 deaths”, but that total has remained static
since 2016 despite the ongoing war.
According to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project
(ACLED); at least 56,000 people have been killed in armed
violence in Yemen from January 2016 to September 2018.
Three-quarters of all civilian deaths in Yemen are attributable
to the Britain-led coalition.
Andrea Carboni explained that even this number is an
underestimate, since it was based on deaths that were reported
at medical facilities in the country, but "[I]Most of the
people, the casualties, do not get to medical centres. That
number was actually missing a lot of the violence and the
casualties that are related to it[/I]".
These 56,000 death Yemenis is NOT including the huge death toll
(of more than 2000 per week) caused by (preventable) diseases
and malnutrition, but only “[I]the number of people that were
killed as a direct consequence of armed violence[/I]":
HTML https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/yemen-death-toll-five-times-higher-new-data-774808860
The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) has
estimated that, with an additional 3,068 people killed in
November, the total number of Yemenis who have died from the
violence in Yemen since January 2016 is 60,223.
ACLED estimates that another 15,000 to 20,000 were killed in
2015; this makes the total death toll since March 2015 - between
75,000 and 80,000
This doesn’t include the hundreds of thousands of Yemenis that
died from “preventable causes” like starvation and cholera:

The UK based Save the Children has calculated, using data from
the UN, that at least 84,700 Yemeni children younger than 5 have
died from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) between April 2015 and
October 2018.
More than 3 ½ years after the brutal war against Yemen
escalated, according to the UN, 14 million could be at risk of
famine.
The humanitarian catastrophe has become much worse since the
“coalition” imposed a month-long blockade of Yemen just over a
year ago. Since then, imports of food through Hodeidah have
declined by more than 55,000 metric tonnes a month.
Tamer Kirolos, of Save the Children said: [quote]We are
horrified that some 85,000 children in Yemen may have died
because of extreme hunger since the war began. For every child
killed by bombs and bullets, dozens are starving to death and
it’s entirely preventable.
In the past few weeks there have been hundreds of airstrikes in
and around Hodeidah, endangering the lives of an estimated
150,000 children still trapped in the city. Save the Children is
calling for an immediate end to the fighting so no more lives
are lost.[/quote]

The following 2 part video is a good description of how and why
the Saudi-UAE-US-UK coalition destroys Yemen. It features Isa
Blumi from Sweden with a good analysis of what is happening.

Firestarter, is it okay if I share this on other forums?
[/quote]Yes.[/quote] You don´t have to ask if you can "share"
what I post here.

Some people feel differently about that so thought I would ask.
