For nearly seven years, Yemen has witnessed aggression led by the Saudi coalition, with the participation of several Arab countries.

Earlier, Amnesty International said that the Saudi-led coalition used precision-guided missiles made in the US in its raids on Yemeni cities.

The war led the country to a $126 billion loss, in one of the worst humanitarian and economic crises in the world, as most of the population of 30 million depend on aid, according to the United Nations.
