Insan Organization for Rights and Freedoms strongly condemned on Tuesday the crimes committed by US forces against civilians in Hodeida provinces and other provinces in Yemen.
In a statemen, the organization noted that US warplanes targeted the Amin Muqbil residential neighborhood in al-Hawak district in Hodeida province, resulting in the deaths of four people and the wounding of 15 others, including women and children, according to a preliminary toll, as well as the destruction of homes and civilian facilities.
It noted that the US aggression launched raids targeting the communications network in Amran province, completely destroying it, and other raids on areas in Sana'a province, destroying property and endangering the lives of civilians.
The statement explained that these violations constitute a flagrant violation of international laws and conventions, including agreements related to the protection of civilians in times of war, particularly Additional Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, which prohibits indiscriminate attacks or attacks that may cause extensive damage to life and property; the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees the right to life, personal security, and the right to protection from military attacks; and the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, which prohibits attacks on civilians and civilian facilities.
The organization called on the international community to take immediate action to put an end to these crimes, which violate the most basic human rights. It emphasized that these practices represent political and military bullying that threatens international peace and security, and that the international community must urgently intervene to pressure the United States to halt these ongoing attacks.
