A statement of condemnation issued by the Entisaf Organization for Women and Child Rights regarding the targeting of the Barh al-Haddad area in the Al-Za’azi’ sub-district, Taiz Governorate.
The Entisaf Organization for Women and Child Rights condemns, in the strongest terms, the airstrike carried out by the Saudi-led coalition today, Monday, November 9, 2026, on the Barh al-Haddad area in the Al-Za’azi’ sub-district of Al-Shamayatayn District, Taiz Governorate. The attack resulted in injuries to two civilian women—one of whom is in critical condition—marking yet another assault to be added to the record of violations against civilians and their residential areas.
The organization asserts that targeting residential areas and exposing the lives of civilians—particularly women and children—to the risk of death or injury constitutes a grave violation of the rules of international humanitarian law. These rules mandate adherence to the principles of distinction and proportionality, in accordance with the 1949 Geneva Conventions, the 1977 Additional Protocol I, and the customary rules of international humanitarian law.
The organization emphasizes that women are not legitimate targets for the Saudi-led coalition. Their injury within their own residential areas highlights the magnitude of the dangers civilians face due to ongoing bombardment, as well as the resulting health, psychological, and social consequences—all the more severe given the difficult humanitarian conditions in which the local population is living. The organization notes that this incident is part of a long series of violations endured by civilians in Yemen over more than twelve years of aggression—violations that have claimed thousands of victims, including women and children, and caused extensive damage to homes, property, and infrastructure, all amid a persistent lack of effective international accountability.
Consequently, the Entisaf Organization calls for an immediate end to the aggression and the blockade, a cessation of attacks targeting civilians, residential areas, and civilian objects, and adherence to the rules of international humanitarian law. It demands an independent and transparent investigation into the attack on the Barh al-Haddad area in the Ash Shamayatayn District, the identification of those responsible, and their prosecution in accordance with the law. Furthermore, it calls for the provision of necessary medical care and treatment for the injured, ensuring they receive compensation and redress. It also urges the implementation of urgent and effective measures to protect civilians—particularly women and children—from the dangers of bombardment and targeted attacks. The organization further calls upon the United Nations, as well as international and human rights organizations, to fulfill their legal and

Entisaf Organization emphasizes that targeting residential areas and endangering the lives of women cannot be dismissed as an isolated incident; the protection of civilians and the safeguarding of their right to life and security constitute a legal and humanitarian obligation that brooks no delay. The organization reiterates its demand for justice for the victims, the accountability of perpetrators, and an end to the ongoing assaults on civilians in Yemen.
