CAIRO: The UN panel said on Wednesday that at least 18,000 Yemeni civilians had been killed or injured by air strikes because the country war increased in 2015.
In a report presented to the Human Rights Council, a group of experts named UN said that Yemen said That Yemen people have experienced around 10 air strikes a day, a total of more than 23,000 since March 2015.
The report, which quoted the Yemeni data project for air figures, found both parties in the war had violated international law.
Project, local data collection operations, attributes all air strikes to the Saudi LED coalition.
Meanwhile the rival of coalitions, Houthi rebels, has been peeled by the environment, camps for refugees, airports and markets, which lead to dozens of death, according to UN experts.
Yemen has spasms by civil war since 2014 when Houthi supported by Iran took control of Sanaa’s capital and most of the northern part of the country, forced the government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to escape south, then to Saudi Arab.
The Saudi LED coalition, supported at that time by the US, entered the war in March 2015 to try to restore Hadi to power, and threw his support behind his internationally supported government.
Although non-stop air campaigns and battle of land, the war has deteriorated mostly to a deadlock, also spawning the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
The US has since suspended direct involvement in conflict.
Both the Saudi LED coalition or Houthi immediately responded to the request to comment on the report.
In the past, both of them had an average accusation to their opponents to bring greater responsibility for civil death.
The true toll of conflict is still questionable, because access is limited to some remote areas where it is done.
In December 2020, the United Nations Humanitarian Body said that war had caused more than 200,000 deaths, including more than 100,000 from indirect causes such as hunger and causes that could be prevented due to lack of basic services.
The location of armed conflict & event data projects, or acled, which collected conflict data internationally, said that war had killed 144,620 people between 2015 and now.
The UN report refers to the air strike that has been carried out by the Saudi LED coalition, without direct accusing him.
Houthis did not have a functional air force, but they had launched an attack by the explosion-loaded drone that had left causality among civilians.
They depend on missiles and rockets that are fired, mostly.
The Group criticized the coalition for failing to share details about how he determined what would be a target of certain attacks that resulted in the death of children and women.
He also said the coalition investigation body itself has found “technical errors” to be responsible for civil death cases without further changes to the operation.
Both parties were found to have targeted the main health facilities and food supply chain infrastructure.
Among the incident cuts investigated was the December 2020 attack at Aden International Airport which killed at least 25 people after a plane carrying new members from internationally recognized governments arrived.
The UN experts previously said the attack could be caused by fired rockets.
The UN report said the continued weapon sales to both sides of the war had worsened the battle.
It is said that countries continue the transfer of weapons to Yemen, France, Iran, England and the United States.
