UN: Two years of war on Yemen targets children, food trucks and even fishermen’s boats

As the war on Yemen is raging, UN urged those fighting to work towards a ceasefire and to allow humanitarian aid to get through to millions of people in need.

As the war on Yemen is raging, UN urged those fighting to work towards a ceasefire and to allow humanitarian aid to get through to millions of people in need.

In the past month alone, at least 106 civilians were killed, mostly by air strikes and shelling from war ships, the High Commissioner’s Office (OHCHR) said in a press release.

Of particular concern is fighting in and around Al Hudaydah, which has left thousands of civilians trapped and blocked deliveries of humanitarian aid, as was the case last month in the port city of Al Mokha in the hard-hit Taizz Governorate.

The worst incidents there was on 10 March, when a ship carrying at least 70 people was shot by what appeared to be an Apache helicopter overhead, killing at least 33 people and severely wounding 29 others, including children.
