“The
number of people displaced by violence across Yemen has exceeded
300,000, a United Nations agency has said, as an ongoing aggression
by Saudi Arabia keeps inflicting heavy losses on the impoverished
country. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
said Tuesday that the number of displaced people in Yemen has nearly
increased two-fold compared to figures announced around mid-April.”
“The
same agency reported on April 17 that 150,000 people were displaced
in Yemen. Most of the displacements have occurred in the northern
province of Hajjah, followed by the southern provinces of Dhale and
Abyan, the body said.”
“On
April 21, Riyadh announced the end of the first phase of its
military operation, which has claimed the lives of nearly 1,000
people so far, but airstrikes have continued with Saudi bombers
targeting different areas across the country in a new phase.
According to Yemen’s Health Ministry, the month-long Saudi
aggression has killed nearly 150 children and around 100 women.”
