Yemen: Blind people gather in protest at Saudi Arabia bombing their school/care centre in Sanaa

Demonstrators took to the streets today in protest at Saudi Arabia bombing of al Noor Center for Care and Rehabilitation of the Blind in Sanaa, Yemen by Saudi Arabia. The attack on the building in the al-Safia district on the 5th January 2016 wounded at least 3 people according to an official quoted by Yemen News Agency (Saba Net). The Intercept reported that “the city’s chamber of commerce, a wedding hall, and at least one residential area” were also damaged.

Abdullah Ahmed Banyan, who attends the centre told IB Times, “people with disabilities are being struck in their residence. Around 1.30am, two missiles hit the live-in quarters of a home for the blind. Can you imagine they are striking the blind? What is this criminality? Why? Is it the blind that are fighting the war?”

Dr Nasreen, Social equity activist from Northern California tweeted President Barack Obama and President Vladimir Putin asking, “where’s the United Nations Security Council Resolution condemning this, ending Saudi Arabia war on Yemen?” – by Carol Anne Grayson

Yemen: Home for the blind bombed as Saudi-led airstrikes intensify against Houthi forces (with film)

A home for the blind and the Chamber of Commerce in Sanaa are among the sites that have been destroyed by the latest round of Saudi Arabia-led airstrikes in Yemen.

Abdullah Ahmed Banyan, a patient at the Noor Centre for the Blind, said: "People with disabilities are being struck in their residence. Around 1.30am, two missiles hit the live-in quarters of a home for the blind. Can you imagine they are striking the blind? What is this criminality? Why? Is it the blind that are fighting the war?"

"The chamber of commerce was targeted last night by an air strike. For what reason? This kind of air strike is not justified and we hope that all sides refrain from targeting commercial and civilian sites and civilians," said Abdel Hakim Naser, head of legal at the Chamber of Commerce.

A party hall for weddings in Sanaa was also destroyed in the bombings. Saudi forces first entered the conflict against Houthi fighters in an attempt to quell what it saw as Iran's growing influence in the region – by James Lillywhite

Yemen centre for blind 'hit in Saudi coalition air raid'

A centre for blind people in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa has been reportedly hit in an air raid by the Saudi-led coalition.

According to local reports, the Noor Centre for the Blind in the Safiah district of Sanaa was struck on Tuesday morning, along with an empty wedding hall.

The third floor of the centre was hit at 1am on Tuesday morning. There have been no reports of casualties.

The centre was funded by the Yemeni Social Fund Development, a project of the World Bank.

Mohammed al-Daylami, the deputy manager of the centre told the Saba news agency that “the targeting of the centre proves that the Saudi coalition has no clue about the rules and ethics of war".

"What did the disabled children do to do deserve being hit by an air strike?" he asked. "Where are the NGOs? Where is the UN?"

Air strikes overnight also struck the port city of Hodaida and the southwestern city of Taiz.

Yemen center for blind hit by Saudi-led coalition airstrike – locals

The third floor of the Noor Center for the Blind in the Safiah district was damaged in the 1 a.m. incident, according to the Middle East Eye. No casualties in the bombing were reported.

Noor Center is one-of-a-kind in Yemen, receiving funding from one of the World Bank’s projects in the country.

After the airstrike, the center’s deputy manager, Mohammed Daylami, blamed Saudi Arabia and its allies for “having no clue about the rules and ethics of war."

"What did the disabled children do to do deserve being hit by an air strike? Where are the NGOs? Where is the UN?", Daylami told Saba news agency.

Saudi-led airstrikes resumed in Yemen as a formal ceasefire agreed on 15 December between the coalition and the Houthi rebels expired over the weekend.

However, the Saudi-Arabian coalition kept violating Yemeni air space even during the formal ceasefire, Sanaa-based political analyst Hassan Al-Haifi told RT. Air raids often hit civilians with weapons prohibited under the rules of engagement, he added.

“They are continuing [to bomb]. They have never stopped,” Haifi said. “There are literally hundreds of air raids not just in Sanaa but around the country.”

“They are using every kind of weapon available to them. The military targets are far fewer than civilian targets,”Haifi told RT, adding that the Saudis have recently bombed a Coca-Cola factory and a dairy farm, in addition to numerous schools and hospitals.
