Sanaa (IP) - More than 2,500 Students attended the start of the new academic year at Sanaa University in Yemen's capital as the Saudi-led coalition continued its deadly airstrikes in the country.

Iran Press/Middle East: The 2019-2020 academic year began on 10 September in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, under the rule of Ansarullah political leadership but with deadly Saudi-led airstrikes and shelling continuing.  

Yemeni students say they will participate in both their classes at the university and in the battlefield until the Saudi-led war against their country is over.

For more than four years now, Saudi Arabia and its allies have targeted Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the Arab world, causing untold misery and bloodshed, with tens of thousands of Yemenis either killed or injured, including men, women, children, university students and the elderly.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and the United Arab Emirates, launched a devastating war on Yemen in March 2015. The war has so far killed more than 60,000 Yemenis, injured tens of thousands of others, and displacing millions from their homes.

Food shortages, medicine shortages, and cholera epidemics have wreaked havoc in the country, mainly because of a Saudi-imposed total land, sea and air blockade.
