Insan Organization for Rights and Freedoms strongly condemns the aerial attacks carried out by U.S. warplanes on several Yemeni cities, including the capital Sana’a and the governorates of Saada, Al-Bayda, and Al-Jawf. These strikes have injured several civilians, including women and children, and caused extensive destruction to residential neighborhoods and vital infrastructure—an explicit violation of international humanitarian law.

According to reports, the U.S. airstrikes targeted an under-construction event hall in a densely populated residential area in Al-Thawrah district, north of Sana’a, injuring seven women and two children and sparking widespread fires. Additional strikes targeted a livestock farm and civilian facilities in Al-Hazm district (Al-Jawf governorate), Al-Sawadiyah district (Al-Bayda governorate), as well as the vicinity of the city of Saada.

These criminal acts committed by the United States in Yemen constitute a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law, particularly Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, which ensures the protection of civilians during conflict; Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits attacks on civilian populations; and Article 51 of Additional Protocol I, which bans indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian objects.

This dangerous escalation worsens the suffering of the Yemeni people and reflects a blatant disregard for international norms and laws, placing the international community before urgent legal and moral responsibilities.

Accordingly, Insan Organization calls on the international community, the United Nations, and all humanitarian and human rights organizations to take a clear and firm stance against these repeated aggressions. We urge immediate action to halt the airstrikes, hold perpetrators accountable, and pressure the United States to comply fully with international law and ensure the protection of innocent civilians.

Continued international silence in the face of such aggression will only deepen the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen and further undermine any prospects for peace and stability in the region.
