2018 War Crimes in Yemen
The United
Nations and a growing number of countries in the world are calling for an
immediate ceasefire in war torn Yemen.
Oxfam and
other agencies are calling on the United States and European countries to end their
support for the Saudi coalition. More and more Americans are reacting to the
“gut-wrenching” images of starving Yemeni children.
The airports and seaports have been devastated
by Saudi-US bombing and the economic collapse have pushed food prices beyond
the reach for most Yeminis intensifying hunger and famine.
Images of young children reduced to flesh and
bones have amplified demands for an immediate end to US and European weapons
sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Emirates.
US bomb fragments have littered the Yemeni
landscape intensifying anger towards the US.
Civilian deaths have been grossly understated
to minimize opposition of arms sales. A comprehensive study conducted by the Fletcher School of
International Diplomacy at Tufts University reveal the actual deaths to be
about 80,000. Food supplies have been deliberately targeted intensifying
shortages. The Saudis are also trying to close the port through which many
supplies enter the country. The
U.S. supplies the intelligence for the Saudi Air Force, which is carrying out
massive atrocities making us complicit in Saudi’s war crimes.
