Statement of Condemnation by the Entisaf Organization for Women and Child Rights Regarding the Targeting of Civilian Homes in the Sharjab Area, Taiz Governorate
The Entisaf Organization for Women and Child Rights condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the airstrike carried out by the Saudi-led coalition, which targeted civilian homes in the Sharjab area of Al-Shamayatayn District, Taiz Governorate. The attack resulted in the injury of a woman and caused damage to several civilian homes—a new atrocity that reflects the continued targeting of civilian objects and places the lives of civilians, especially women and children, at grave risk.
The organization asserts that the targeting of homes and residential neighborhoods constitutes a serious violation of the rules of international humanitarian law. These laws prohibit attacks against civilians and civilian objects, and mandate that the aggressor adhere to the principles of distinction and proportionality—ensuring that attacks are not directed at the civilian population or their property—thereby safeguarding civilian lives and protecting their property from being targeted or destroyed.
The organization holds the Saudi-led coalition fully responsible for this crime and its humanitarian consequences. It calls upon the United Nations, as well as international and human rights organizations, to fulfill their legal and humanitarian responsibilities by condemning these violations, initiating an independent and transparent international investigation, holding those responsible to account, ensuring they do not escape impunity, and providing necessary protection to civilians—particularly women and children—in accordance with the provisions of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
