Yemen Rights Commission: Saudi Strike on Village a Clear War Crime

Yemen's National Human Rights Commission announced at a press conference that 44 people were killed and 40 others wounded in a direct, deliberate attack by Saudi-led coalition warplanes on residential homes.

Hawzah News Agency- Yemen's National Human Rights Commission announced at a press conference held at the site of the crime in Al-Sharyah village in Bani Hushaysh district, east of Sanaa, that 44 people were killed and 40 others wounded in a direct, deliberate attack by Saudi-led coalition warplanes on residential homes—a crime accompanied by repeated strikes on rescue teams and recognized as a war crime not subject to statute of limitations.

Preliminary Toll of the Humanitarian Disaster in Bani Hushaysh

The National Human Rights Commission released a harrowing toll of the crime committed by Saudi-led coalition warplanes in Al-Sharyah village in Bani Hushaysh district, east of the capital Sanaa, where citizens' homes were directly and deliberately bombarded last Saturday afternoon, leaving 44 dead and 40 wounded according to preliminary figures.

Homes Completely Destroyed on Top of Residents

Speaking at its press conference held at the crime scene in Al-Sharyah village, the Commission explained that the attack completely destroyed six residential homes on top of their occupants and left dozens of victims, both dead and wounded—a crime demonstrating the extent of direct targeting of civilians and their homes.

Targeting of Rescue Teams

The report indicates that Saudi warplanes, after the initial crime, carried out three rounds of follow-up strikes on the incident site, during which ambulance crews and rescue workers were attacked—an assault that worsened the crime's dimensions and targeted humanitarian efforts to save victims and pull those trapped under the rubble.

Saudi Criminal and International Responsibility, Calls for Fact-Finding Committee

The National Human Rights Commission held the Saudi regime fully criminally and internationally responsible for the Al-Sharyah massacre and other crimes committed against the Yemeni people, stressing that case files for these crimes—with all elements, criminal documentation, and names—have been completed and will never be subject to a statute of limitations.

The Commission also called for the formation of an independent international fact-finding committee to investigate the massacre, conduct field visits to examine the crime scene in Al-Sharyah village and other areas affected by aggression, and document the scale of violations and crimes against civilians.
