The Executive Center for Mine Action (YEMAC) in Sanaa has confirmed that 324 civilians have been killed and injured since the truce took effect on 2 April as a result of mines and cluster bombs used by the Saudi Zio-Wahhabi led coalition.
In a statement, the Center said that since the beginning of the UN-brokered truce, 108 civilians had been killed and 216 injured through landmines, cluster bomb explosions, and other remnants of the 8-year-long war.
The YEMAC renewed the call to provide field supplies and equipment to demine the battlefields in Yemen from cluster bombs, unexploded shells, and mines. Despite the agreement to do so, efforts remain constrained by the Saudi Zio-Wahhabi led coalition.
According to the reports, cluster bombs used by the Saudi Zio-Wahhabi led coalition have caused the most damage, killing 18 civilians and wounding 57 others.
Another report published by the Entesaf Organization, which focuses on the rights of women and children, details that Saudi Zio-Wahhabi war in Yemen has killed and injured over 13,000 Yemeni civilians since 2015.
On 29 August, Abdul Karim al-Safiani, deputy director of Yemen’s Water Resource Organization, stated that he discovered high radioactive substances and toxic metals in freshwater resources in Hodeidah province.
According to Yemeni sources, Saudi Zio-Wahhabi and its partners are also responsible for the looting of vast quantities of oil from detained tankers.
Earlier this month, the spokesman for the Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) in Sanaa, Issam al-Mutawakel, said the total number of fuel ships seized by the coalition reached 12.
Sanaa accused the Saudi Zio-Wahhabi led coalition on 28 August of destroying 2,995 water facilities since the beginning of the war in 2015, including dams, barriers, pumps, tanks, irrigation channels, and irrigation networks, fueling the humanitarian crisis in the country.
According to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), more than 23.4 are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance in Yemen, the worst human-made humanitarian crisis in the world.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Zio-Wahhabi led coalition is blocking the country’s access to assistance and necessary resources by controlling access via sea, air, and land. Half of the country’s health facilities are also out of service and lack energy and supplies for the adequate treatment of its patients.
