TAIZ-SABA
A number of rights groups have condemned the Houthi shelling on a hospital in Yemen’s central Taiz city on Saturday.
In separate statements, the Human Rights Information and Training Center (HRITIC), the Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms (YNRF) described as “a war crime” and “systematic crimes” the theocratic militia’s heavy shelling that injured two health workers in the Hope Hospital for Tumors Treatment in Taiz. The attack partially damaged the hospital.
“It is a war crime that necessitates an international action towards the systematic crimes of the Houthi militia against Taiz,” read the HRITC’s statement.
“Conducting an international probe into these crimes has become an urgency so that war criminals don’t get away with it,” it said. The HRITC demanded the OHCHR to move urgently to “stop these aggressions and lift the six year siege that the Houthi militia have been imposing on the city.”
The YNRF said the militia “deliberately targeted the Hope Hospital,” demanding the UN to take all the necessary measures to deter these crimes and criminalize the militia’s indiscriminate shelling and six year siege around the city.
