here reports from after the raid – Und hier Berichte von nach dem Angriff: 16.10.2015 – The Independent Yemen wedding bombing: 15-year-old survivor tells of devastation
wreaked on family party A Saudi-led air strike on a wedding in Yemen earlier this month killed
scores of guests and wounded 54 others, including women, children – and a
15-year-old boy who dreams of being an astronaut. Survivors speak to Mary Ghallab It should have been a day of happy family celebration for 15-year-old
Abdullah Qais Sanabani, a
Yemeni schoolboy previously best known by his schoolmates for having once won
a trip to Nasa’s US headquarters. His three uncles, dressed in smart blue jackets over traditional white
robes and wearing colourful turbans, were holding a
joint wedding ceremony and party. Their three brides, all from nearby
villages, had just arrived in a convoy of 30 cars, beeping horns and playing
loud music in celebration, when a power generator failure prompted Abdullah
to leave the house with one of his uncles to see what was wrong. Moments later, at 9.30pm, the deafening roar of warplanes filled the
air and missiles rained down from the sky on to the two-storey wedding house
built on the top of a hill in the small town of Sanabani,
60 miles south of the capital Sanaa. “We heard the terrifying sound of the jets,” Abdullah recalled in a
weak voice. “My uncle pushed me behind a water tank. Missiles fell on us and
exploded, and when I looked around, I found all those who were around me
dead. My uncle’s body was torn into pieces. He hadn’t got married yet.” Abdullah spoke to The Independent by telephone from bed in a Jordanian
hospital, where he was flown for emergency treatment after the attack. According to witnesses, at least 57 of the wedding party – mostly
members of the extended families of the brides and the grooms – were killed
and dozens others injured in the attack earlier this month. Bed-ridden and
still swathed in bandages, Abdullah suffered first-degree burns in the face
and body and said he was afraid that doctors might amputate his hands. “I am
in pain all the time. My whole body has been scorched,” he said. Abdullah’s father, Qais Sanabani,
said most of the dead in his family’s wedding party had been women because,
according to Yemeni traditions, men must leave the house when the brides
first arrive. As well as Abdullah’s uncle, one of the brides and 10 other
immediate family members perished, including his grandparents. A health
ministry official in Dhamar, Mohammed Gamah, said the final death toll had risen to 66 – 33
women, 18 men and 15 children – and 54 others injured. “He was so happy to go to Nasa and for him, this was a turning point,”
Mr Sanabani said. In
school, he added, his son excelled in scientific applications, making models
to show how to generate solar energy. Mr Sanabani said that his son always dreamt of becoming an
astronaut. From his hospital bed, Abdullah summed up his ambitions. “I wanted
to do something that benefits human kind. So when I die, people remember me,”
he said. 1.11.2015 – Al Araby Yemen child prodigy badly
injured in wedding bombing A Yemeni boy who took a trip to
NASA after winning an international science award may lose his leg and
fingers after an airstrike left him badly burned, Reuters reported on Friday.
Fifteen year old Abdullah al-Sanabani was injured
in a suspected Saudi airstrike on 7 October that according to the Health
Ministry killed 66 members of the wedding party in near Dhamar,
a small city in southwestern Yemen, the UK newspaper The Independent
reported. In 2011, Abdullah won the
prestigious Indian IKen Scientific science prize
for building a solar-powered remote control car that converted into a boat,
Reuters reported. His prize included a five-day trip to the US space agency
NASA and the title of "Global Icon". "He was so into life,
into learning, English and computers. All of his dreams and aspirations could
be lost now. His future is now in the hands of fate," his uncle Hussam told the news agency. "Around 45 percent of his
body has second and third degree burns. The five fingers on his right hand
and his left leg are burnt, and the doctors are deciding whether to keep them
or take them off," his father Qais said.
Abdullah himself is now recovering from his injuries in a Jordanian hospital.
Asked if he would continue pursuing his dreams of being a scientist, he
answered wearily "God willing." "I wanted to do something that
benefits human kind. So when I die, people remember me," he told the
Independent by telephone from his bed in the burn unit ward in Amman' King
Hussein hospital. "Three of my wife's
brothers were all having a wedding. At around 9:30 at night when the brides
arrived to the house, we heard the sound of the Saudi airplanes attack it
with missiles," his father told Reuters. "We heard the terrifying
sound of the jets," Abdullah told The Independent. "My uncle pushed
me behind a water tank. Missiles fell on us and exploded, and when I looked
around, I found all those who were around me dead. My uncle's body was torn
into pieces. He hadn't got married yet." Swathed in bandages and with
first-degree burns on his face and body, he said "I am in pain all the
time. My whole body has been scorched." A national heroHis
win, and his visit to NASA in 2011 made headlines in Yemen. Wearing a T-shirt
that said "NASA: I need my space" at a TEDx
conference in Yemen in 2012, he told the audience: "I'm proud. Not just
for myself, but for Yemen." Many of Abdullah's family were killed in the
attack, including a groom and a bride, two of Abdullah's grandparents, an
aunt, two uncles and several young cousins. At least 15 children died in the
attack – by Al-Araby al-Jadeed
