The Saudi-led coalition, through the criminality it is imposing via airstrikes against the people of Yemen, has killed and injured more than 3,000 civilians, including women and children, a Yemeni rights group said on Monday.

The Humanity Eye Center for Rights and Development issued a report on Monday that showed the number of casualties of the war on Yemen in 2022 alone was as high as 3,083 - 643 murdered citizens and 2,440 others wounded.

Some 102 children lost their lives and 353 others sustained injuries, with 27 women killed and 97 others wounded, the report added.

"The aggression against Yemen has resulted in the injury of 2,440 civilians, including 353 children and 97 women, since the beginning of 2022," the report said.

Additionally, the report revealed that among the dead were 514 men, in addition to 1,990 others wounded.

Material losses

The Saudi-led coalition dealt heavy blows to the Yemeni infrastructure in 2022, destroying 14,367 homes, 134 mosques, 5 tourist facilities, 12 hospitals, 64 schools and educational facilities, 1,987 agricultural fields, 2 sports facilities, 3 archaeological sites, and 7 media facilities, the report added.

The Saudi-led coalition also targeted Sanaa International Airport, Al-Hudaydah port, and 22 power stations and generators.

Additionally, the coalition of aggression destroyed 22 power stations, 974 roads and bridges, 46 communication towers and stations, 334 reservoirs and water stations, and 57 government facilities.

Businesses were not exempt either, with the coalition destroying around 229 commercial establishments, with its warplanes targeting 1,022 means of transportation, 29 chicken farms, 37 medicine warehouses, 95 food trucks, 21 fuel stations, and 13 tankers trucks.

The Eye of Humanity Center for Rights and Development announced then that the number of civilian casualties as a result of the direct bombing of the Saudi-led coalition during the 7 years of the aggression on Yemen amounted to 46,262 casualties, including 17,734 killed, among whom are 4,017 children, 2,434 women, and 11,283 men, while the number of wounded reached 28,528, including 4,586 children, 2,911 women, and 10,032 men.

Back in November, the United Nations reported that there were 343 civilians killed or injured as a result of landmine and unexploded ordnances during the six-month UN-backed ceasefire.

The United Nations constantly warns of the bad situation in Yemen. In its latest report, the organization showed that the number of child victims of the war on Yemen has risen to 11,000.

The Saudi coalition's war on Yemen has reflected on the country's health sector, with international organizations estimating that only half of the health facilities are working, which in turn suffer from a severe shortage of medicine, equipment, and medical staff.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) affirmed in December that the majority of the Yemeni people urgently need humanitarian aid, as a result of the conflict that has been going on in the Arab country for 8 years.

Through its Twitter account, the committee said that over 70% of people in Yemen today are in need of humanitarian aid, adding that "only 51% of health facilities are functioning" in Yemen, and "over 4.7 million women and children are acutely malnourished."

Yemen has been witnessing violent battles for about 8 years, due to the Saudi coalition's aggression against the country. The humanitarian situation remains difficult due to the ongoing blockade of ports imposed by the Saudi coalition forces, which limits the availability of fuel, food, and medicine.
