PROTESTERS CHANTING SLOGANSSANAA, YEMEN - MAY 11: A US airstrike that killed 68 African migrants at a detention center in Saada province last month was protested by activists in front of the United Nations (UN) office in Yemen's capital Sanaa on Sunday, May 11. The protesters carried banners and photos of the ruined center and, chanted anti-US slogans. The protesting group condemned the US attack, which killed civilians, calling it reckless. The group also criticized the international community's silence on the attack, saying it was a disgrace to humanity. On April 28, the Houthi-run Interior Ministry said at least 68 people were killed and 47 others injured in US airstrikes on a shelter for African migrants in Yemen’s northern Saada province. It said the targeted shelter is supervised by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), calling the US strikes "a full-fledged war crime." According to the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV, since March 15, the US has conducted 1,712 attacks on Yemen, which were met with over 131 counterattacks involving the use of 253 ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles, as well as drones. The Houthis have targeted ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden since November 2023 in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where nearly 52,800 victims have been killed in a brutal Israeli assault for more than 19 months, most of them women and children. The group halted attacks when a Gaza ceasefire was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, but resumed them after Israel's renewed airstrikes on Gaza in March. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
