At least 92 civilians have been killed and 165 others wounded in US airstrikes on Yemen since mid-March, Yemeni Health Ministry spokesperson Anis al-Asbahi announced on Thursday.
Earlier in the day, Al-Asbahi reported that five civilians were killed, five others injured, and one person was missing following the latest US strikes within the past 24 hours. He emphasized that Yemenis are aware of the challenges they face and remain prepared to confront them.
Since the start of Yemen’s military operations in support of Gaza in November 2023, the US-British-Israeli aggression has resulted in 964 civilian casualties, including 250 deaths, according to the Health Ministry. The latest figures account for casualties recorded up to April 1.
US airstrikes continue to target Yemeni provinces and cities, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian crisis in the country.
Senseless aggression
On Tuesday night, a US airstrike hit a water project and the water authority building in al-Mansuriyah, killing four workers and injuring another.
That same night, US warplanes carried out a series of raids on multiple locations in Yemen, launching three airstrikes on Washha in Hajjah province, northwest of the country, and two consecutive strikes on Saada in northern Yemen.
At dawn on Tuesday, US airstrikes targeted the Jirban area in the Sanhan district, south of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, with five raids.
British newspaper The Guardian, citing human rights organizations and humanitarian workers in Yemen, reported that the systematic and continuous US airstrikes have exacerbated the country’s already dire humanitarian crisis and severely hindered the operations of relief organizations.
