Statement by the #Entesaf Organization Condemning the Crimes and Massacres of the US-Saudi Aggression Coalition Mercenaries Against Children in Saada Governorate

On Jul 27, 2025

We condemn and denounce in the strongest terms the continued crimes and massacres committed by the US-Saudi aggression coalition mercenaries against the Yemeni people through their deliberate bombing of civilians and civilian objects. The Saudi enemy launched an artillery attack, resulting in the death of a child in the Baqim District of Saada Governorate on Thursday, July 24, 2025.

This targeting constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law, which criminalizes the targeting of innocent civilians in any form. It also confirms the deliberate violation by the US-Saudi aggression forces of the principles and rules of international humanitarian law, including the principles of humanity, distinction, and proportionality. This has made these crimes amount to crimes against humanity and an extension of the series of war crimes and genocide committed by the aggression coalition against Yemen for more than ten years.

We hold the United States, Saudi Arabia, and their allies responsible for all crimes committed against civilians, and we demand an investigation and criminal accountability for all those proven to be involved in these crimes. We also hold the United Nations and the Security Council responsible for their shameful silence and shirking of their duties, which has encouraged the United States and Saudi Arabia to continue committing further war crimes against civilians in Yemen.

We renew our appeal to the international community, human rights and humanitarian organizations, and all honorable and free people of the world to assume their moral and humanitarian responsibilities in supporting the oppressed Yemeni people, condemning the horrific crimes committed by the US-Saudi aggression, and pressuring the United Nations, specifically the Security Council, to fulfill their legal and moral duty to protect civilians and stop the war and all forms of aggression. We also call for the formation of an impartial international commission of inquiry to investigate all crimes and massacres committed by US-Saudi forces against defenseless civilians.
