zal leuk worden, het arabisch schiereiland, totaal in oorlog met elkaar. Worden er ook minder aanslagen gepleegd in het westen, ze zullen te druk zijn met elkaar opblazen. Jammer voor de welwillende mensen die er wonen, maar het doet me weinig. Het lijkt haast wel of alles daar opgelost moet worden met geweld. Liefst nog met een saus van religieuze verantwoording erover

Juist niet, deze Saudische agressie tegen Jemen versterkt 'Al Qaida in de Islamitische Maghreb', en die zijn diegene die oa de aanslag op Charlie Hebdo hebben gepleegd.

Saudi aerial attacks on Yemen have so far claimed the lives of nearly 4,000 people across the impoverished country, a report says.

According to a recent report by Freedom House Foundation, nearly seven weeks of Saudi airstrikes have claimed the lives of 3,979 Yemeni people so far while more than 6,887 others have been wounded.

The foundation further said that most of the victims of the deadly Saudi campaign are civilians, including a large number of women and children.

The group noted that the actual death toll is much higher as it does not include hundreds of people listed as missing.

Thousands of residential buildings have been destroyed and hundreds of civil and public facilities were reduced to rubble as a result of the bombardments by Saudi warplanes on the Yemeni cities and towns, the group said.

Meanwhile, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization has recently warned of a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Yemen, saying more than 15 million Yemenis are suffering from food insecurity in the wake of Saudi airstrikes.

Dominique Burgeon, the emergencies director at the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), said on Wednesday that the Saudi attacks have caused severe shortages in water, fuel and medical aid in Yemen.

He also urged the international community to help lift the Yemenis out of the situation by allocating funds and resuming trade with the war-ravaged country.

Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, which currently controls the capital, Sana’a, and other major provinces, and to restore power to the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.

According to the latest UN figures, the Saudi military campaign has so far claimed the lives of over 1,400 people and injured close to 6,000 others, roughly half of whom have been civilians.

The Saudi military has fired over a dozen rockets into Yemen in flagrant violation of a “cease-fire” declared by Riyadh itself amid its military aggression against the impoverished country.

On Friday afternoon, Saudi forces fired least eight rockets at the al-Mazraq camp in Yemen’s northwestern province of Hajjah, which is close to the Saudi border and located about 300 kilometers (186 miles) northwest of the capital, Sana’a.

There were no immediate reports of possible casualties, Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network reported.

Separately, six rockets fired by Saudi forces slammed into al-Husamah area in the northwestern province of Sa’ada.

The developments came only a day after the Yemeni army issued a stern threat against Saudi Arabia, saying any violation of the “truce,” which was declared on May 12, will be met with a strong response.

The so-called ceasefire went into force nearly seven weeks after Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, which currently controls the capital and major provinces, and to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.

UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen Johannes Van der Klaauw said on Friday that over 1,600 people have been killed and more than 6,200 injured in Yemen since conflict intensified there in late March.

“The impact of the conflict has shown that it has a dreadful toll on civilians. Two months into the conflict that have been recorded, and these are conservative figures, more than 1,600 people killed and more than 6,200 injured by airstrikes and also [from] fighting on the ground,” the official said.

He added that some 450,000 people have been displaced as a result of the continuing violence.

Yemeni forces take over Saudi military site

The Yemeni army and Popular Committees have taken over Saudi Arabia’s al-Me’zab military site, a Yemeni broadcaster says.

The Yemeni al-Masirah television said the forces are going to release footage of the seized site shortly.

Yemeni army has shot down a Saudi warplane northeast of the northern city of Sa'ada, as Al Saud regime continues its aerial attacks against its southern neighbor unabated.

According to Yemen's al-Masirah television, the Saudi plane was downed in Kataf district of the province.

Earlier in the day, another Saudi F-16 fighter jet was downed in the Bayt Khayran area of the district of Bani Harith in the north of the northwestern province of Sana’a.

The fighter jet had reportedly conducted a number of airstrikes against Yemen’s al-Dailami air base.

Saudi jets have been carrying out military strikes against Yemen since March 26.

On May 11, Ansarullah fighters brought down a Moroccan fighter jet violating the country’s airspace in the Noshour Valley in the northern province of Sa’ada.

Meanwhile, Saudi military attacks against Yemen continue to claim lives.

According to media outlets on Sunday, Saudi warplanes targeted the area of Jabal Naqim in the eastern part of the Yemeni capital city of Sana’a as well as Faj Attan in the southern part of the city.

Yemeni air defense forces fired at the Saudi fighter jets and forced them to leave the area.

Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 -- without a UN mandate -- in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, which currently controls Sana’a and other major provinces, and to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.

The United Nations (UN) says, since March 19, over 1,800 people have been killed and 7,330 injured due to the conflict in Yemen

Beetje matig hoe er al maanden bommen vallen op arme moslims en er zo weinig over gesproken wordt. Het is net alsof een groot aantal moslims en goedmenschen vooral joden haat, en dode arabiertjes niet zo belangrijk vindt als er geen politiek gewin bij te halen valt.
