Yemen: U.S.-Backed Airstrike Kills 9

HeadlineJan 22, 2016

In Yemen, a U.S.-backed, Saudi-led airstrike on an oil facility has killed at least nine people and injured at least 30. The strike comes one day after thousands of Yemeni women marched in the streets of the capital Sana’a to decry the continued U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign. Protester Nada Al Husseini spoke out.

Nada Al Husseini: “We say to the U.N. that over the last 300 days the aggression has continued. Children are getting killed, women are dying, and they have not reacted or done anything for 10 months, nothing.”
