The National Human Rights Authority reported that the death toll and number of injuries resulting from what it described as Saudi war crimes and acts of genocide against the Yemeni people reached 385 between September 3 and the evening of October 12.
The toll includes 107 people killed and 278 injured, with women and children accounting for more than 60 percent of the casualties.
According to the authority, a total of 2,177 airstrikes, missile attacks, and artillery shellings have targeted Sanaa and other Yemeni provinces, hitting residential neighborhoods, homes, civilian facilities, infrastructure, markets, roads, and telecommunications networks.
The authority said the latest attacks targeted civilian homes in Al-Hazm district in Al-Jawf province, the populated island of Kamaran in Al-Hudaydah, and areas in Amran and Saada provinces.
In Saada, it reported that telecommunications infrastructure in Ghamr district was deliberately targeted, followed by another airstrike in the same area.
A woman was also seriously injured, sustaining fractures, when an airstrike struck her home in the Milat area of Al-Dhabab, Jabal Habashi district, Taiz province.
The authority characterized the escalation as acts of aggression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, citing Articles 6 and 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
It said attacks on telecommunications networks, hospitals, and schools were aimed at destroying the basic foundations of civilian life.
The authority called on the United Nations and the Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities by taking action to halt the Saudi escalation and referring Saudi leaders to the International Criminal Court for prosecution as war criminals. It condemned the international community’s silence over these alleged crimes as a disgrace to humanity.
