Reports coming from Yemen every day show that new tragedies are being experienced in the war-torn country. The Saudi-led coalition has continued to pound countless locations in the country and has already killed a considerable number of civilians. Just yesterday, a prison in Hodeidah was bombed."Arab coalition warplanes bombed a security complex near the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah, killing 60 people, including the inmates of a prison on the site, a regional official, relatives and medical sources said on Sunday. Local officials said the site lies within a security complex for the area guarded by Houthi militiamen, but that only prison security guards were present during the nighttime airstrike. A Reuters witness at the security complex said the entire building was destroyed, and medics pulled about 17 bodies away - many of them missing limbs, while others remained stuck under the rubble," Reuters reported.Last month, the coalition carried out its deadliest attack when a wedding ceremony was targeted, killing at least 150 people. In total, more than 10,000 people have been killed in less than 19 months.Besides the killing of civilians, the Yemeni people face other critical problems such as a lack of access clean water, electricity, food, etc. In some besieged areas, children can be seen starving to death. A recent report, released by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) last month, indicates that over 5 million Yemenis have been affected by water related diseases. "The current situation of the national health system is of great concern for UNICEF and its partners. According to preliminary results from the WHO-supported Health Resources Availability Mapping System (HeRAMS), over 54 percent of health facilities in 16 governorates surveyed are not functioning or partially functioning, only 37 percent of hospitals remain fully functional, and 70 percent of governorates report levels of staffing below the minimum World Health Organization (WHO) benchmark of 22 health workers for every 10,000 persons. Under this scenario, health authorities have been forced to close down or reduce services, leaving thousands of people with no access to essential health care," the report said. According to the report, 20 million people have been affected by the war, while 3 million suffer from lack of nutrition. However, the report said that more than $180 million were necessary to cope with the situation, while only $130 million were available.Yemen was already the poorest Middle Eastern country prior to the war, and the conflict has almost entirely stopped business activities. The Yemeni Central Bank was relocated to Aden from Sanaa and is unable to carry out its main activities. "As the conflict has escalated, the small economy that existed has crumbled. Social welfare transfers to the poorest of the poor stopped nearly two years ago. Private-sector jobs have almost vanished as the ongoing conflict, blockade and airstrikes have targeted factories and businesses either directly or indirectly. Fuel shortages, water scarcity, import blockades and the destruction of roads and ports have destroyed agriculture. The last lifeline for millions of Yemenis, public sector salaries, stopped in August," Rafat al-Akhali, a former minister in the Yemeni cabinet wrote for newstatesman.com.The country also faces the threat of falling into a more multi-partied conflict. "The conflict has led to Yemen's de facto partition, with rival armies and institutions in the north and south, and could mean the map of the Middle East will have to be redrawn. A three-day truce to allow in more humanitarian aid and prepare a political settlement collapsed last week, reflecting the deadlocked efforts to end the stalemated war," Reuters reported.Iran-backed Houthi rebels seized the Yemeni capital Sanaa in September 2014, forcing the internationally recognized government to flee the country. A Saudi-led, U.S.-backed coalition has been conducting an extensive air campaign against the Houthis since March 2015 that has pushed rebels out of southern Yemen.The U.N. says the conflict has left more than 19,000 people dead and displaced at least 3 million. Saudi Arabia leads a coalition of Muslim countries, backed by the U.S., the U.K. and France, in the war in neighboring Yemen. The campaign to restore the government ousted by the Iran-allied militia is part of a larger assertive effort to prevent weapons from reaching Shiite Houthi rebels and their allies, who have overrun much of Yemen. Yemen is of critical importance to the U.S. as the country is home to one of America's biggest enemies: al-Qaeda, as well as its deadliest franchise, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which orchestrated numerous high-profile terror attacks, including the Charlie Hedbo Massacre in Paris, France. Since 2012, the U.S. has launched counterterror airstrikes and operations against radical militants as part of the U.S. national security policy. The U.S.'s "targeted-killing policy" and other practices by the Obama administration have raised serious concerns regarding the rule of law, war crimes and the human cost of the U.S. security policy in Yemen.
