Statement of Condemnation Regarding the Targeting of a Child in Al-Hasha District, Al-Dhale’ Governorate
The Entisaf Organization for Women and Child Rights strongly condemns the targeting of civilians by mercenaries of the Saudi-led aggression, which resulted in the injury of a child following a drone strike on the village of Al-Shamriya in the Lower Hayqi area of Al-Hasha District, Al-Dhale’ Governorate.
The organization affirms that targeting civilians, especially children, constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, which mandates the protection of civilians from attacks, prohibits targeting them directly or indiscriminately, and emphasizes the provision of special protection for children during hostilities.
The organization holds the perpetrators of this crime fully responsible for its consequences and calls upon the United Nations, international organizations, and human rights groups to investigate this crime and the violations committed against civilians and children, and to ensure that the perpetrators do not escape accountability and punishment.
The organization also calls upon the international community to uphold its legal and humanitarian responsibilities, put an end to the continued targeting of children and civilians, and ensure respect for the rules of international humanitarian law and the protection of children’s rights in Yemen.
