The Eye of Humanity Center for Rights and Development has reported that 69 civilians were killed or wounded in Saudi attacks across Yemen’s Sana'a, Hodeidah and Sa'adah provinces over the past 48 hours, including 27 fatalities and 42 injuries, most of them women and children.

In a statement issued Saturday evening, the center condemned continued attacks on civilians, homes and other civilian facilities, warning of a dangerous escalation and violations of international humanitarian law.

According to the statement, an attack on accommodation for workers at a cement factory in Hamdan district, Sana'a province, killed eight civilians, including three women and four children, and wounded 15 others. The center also reported that a home belonging to Fouad Sharaf Al-Shaabi in the Asr area was struck, killing four people, including two children, and injuring his wife.

In Hodeidah province, the center said an attack on the home of Abdulwahid Al-Wasabi in Al-Tuhayta district killed five members of one family: the father, his two wives and two children. A daughter was reportedly injured.

In Sa'adah province, the statement said a migrant shelter affiliated with the Immigration and Passports Authority in Sa'adah city was struck, injuring seven African migrants. Saudi artillery fire in the border district of Shada also reportedly wounded a civilian.

The center said attacks on homes, workers’ accommodation and migrant shelters raised serious concerns over civilian protection and called for investigations and accountability. It held the Saudi regime responsible for the incidents and urged the United Nations, international organizations and human rights groups to condemn the attacks, protect civilians and ensure that those responsible for serious violations are held accountable.

Yemen has endured years of aggression since the Saudi-led military intervention began in March 2015. The war has caused extensive civilian casualties, damage to homes and infrastructure, and a prolonged humanitarian crisis. 

Civilians, including women, children and migrants, remain vulnerable amid continued hostilities and insecurity, while calls for independent investigations and accountability for Saudi violations of international humanitarian law continue.
