Saudi Arabian warplanes strike al-Hudaydah and Sa\u2019ada Provinces in western Yemen, killing three people, including a child.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aircraft targeted two displaced families in al-Hali District in al-Hudaydah, which lies along the country\u2019s west coast, killing a couple and seriously injuring their child, Yemen\u2019s al-Masirah television network reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Subsequent Saudi aerial bombing of the area prevented arrival of rescue workers to retrieve bodies from the rubble, the network\u2019s correspondent reported.<\/p>\n

In Sa\u2019ada, a child was killed after Saudi jets released dozens of missiles against Haydan District.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia and many of its allies started invading Yemen in March 2015 to restore power to its former Riyadh-friendly officials.<\/p>\n

According to Yemen\u2019s Health Ministry, more than 15,000 have died since the onset of the warfare. This is while various reports<\/a> put the death toll far higher, saying a Saudi-enforced media blackout has prevented proper investigation into the number of the fatalities.<\/p>\n

The war has maimed the impoverished country\u2019s infrastructure, including health facilities.<\/p>\n

The coalition maintains a closely-monitored blockade against al-Hudaydah\u2019s capital, which takes in 70 percent of Yemen\u2019s imports.<\/p>\n

Reports say Saudi warplanes carried out over 80 airstrikes on Hudaydah in only a day. A Yemeni armed forces spokesman said the army thwarted “enemy\u2019s attempts to penetrate the defenses in Hudaydah.”<\/p>\n

Since earlier in the week, it has intensified its attacks against the strategic port city. On Tuesday, it was reported that the Saudi-led allies had deployed 10,000 of their forces around the city, with an apparent intention to seize it entirely.<\/p>\n

The Saudi-led coalition has reportedly sent 10,000 of troops to Yemen\u2019s Hudaydah ahead of a new offensive.<\/a><\/div>\n

Also on Sunday, the United Nation\u2019s children agency said Yemen had turned into a “living hell” for children.<\/p>\n

Geert Cappelaere, regional director for the Middle East and North Africa at UNICEF, said that 30,000 children died of malnutrition<\/a> each year in Yemen, while a child died every 10 minutes from easily preventable diseases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
