Statement of Condemnation by the Entisaf Organization for Women and Child Rights Regarding Bombardment and Assaults Against Civilians in Saada Governorate
The Entisaf Organization for Women and Child Rights condemns, in the strongest terms, the crimes committed by the Saudi-led coalition’s border guards against civilians in Saada Governorate. Artillery shelling targeted the Shada district, resulting in the death of one civilian. Additionally, two other civilians were assaulted and beaten by the Saudi-led coalition’s border guards in the Al-Madhala area of the Razih district. These acts constitute ongoing criminal violations that target the lives and safety of civilians, further exacerbating their humanitarian suffering.
The organization asserts that targeting civilians through bombardment and physical assault represents a grave violation of the principles of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. These legal frameworks guarantee the right to life and physical integrity, prohibit attacks on civilians, and mandate that the aggressors adhere to the principles of distinction and proportionality, while ensuring that the lives of the civilian population are not placed in danger.
The organization holds the Saudi-led coalition fully responsible for these crimes and their humanitarian consequences. It calls upon the United Nations, as well as international and human rights organizations, to condemn these violations, take urgent action to halt the recurring assaults on civilians, and initiate an independent and transparent international investigation into these crimes. Furthermore, it demands that those responsible be held accountable—ensuring they do not escape justice—and urges efforts to provide protection for civilians in border areas, guaranteeing respect for their fundamental rights in accordance with the provisions of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
