Yemen: U.S.-Backed, Saudi-Led Airstrikes Kill 5 Civilians Outside Saada

HeadlineFeb 28, 2018

In Yemen, a series of U.S.-backed, Saudi-led airstrikes have killed five civilians outside the northern city of Saada on Tuesday. This is Abed Abdullah, a volunteer health worker, who was one of the first responders after the strike.

Abed Abdullah: “We went to see who survived from the house, and we only found one woman. She was saying that there were victims under the rubble of the house, so we went to get them out. We were alarmed when the second strike hit. We ran away, attempting to escape, and then there was a third strike that hit us while we were removing the rubble over the dead corpses.”
