Iran Press/Iran news: In a Monday statement, Bahram Ghassemi, voiced deep regret over the silence and negligence of the international community towards crimes of aggressors in Yemen, adding that those countries which provide arms for Saudi-led coalition are complicit in the bombing of this school in Sanaa and should be held responsible.
He also urged the United Nations and influential countries to increase efforts to stop such attacks and to adopt necessary measures for protecting the lives of civilians, Iran Press reported.
Air raids by a Saudi-UAE led coalition in a school in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, have killed at least 11 civilians, including children, according to local officials.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched the devastating campaign on March 26, 2015, with the aim of bringing a former government to power and crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement. Riyadh has failed to fulfill its objectives.
The Saudi-led war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN has already said that a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger. According to the world body, Yemen is suffering from the most severe famine in more than 100 years.
Yemenis have been carrying out retaliatory attacks on the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia. 104/202
