UN envoy Hans Grundberg expressed concern about the ongoing escalation of the war in Yemen, saying it is “among the worst” seen in years. He warned this is increasingly putting civilians at risk.
Fighting in Yemen has been raging for months, but recently there has been a pickup of cross-border attacks between Yemen’s Houthis and Saudi Arabia, involving a lot of airstrikes in the Yemeni capital city.
Being that this is a UN official, and the Saudis fly off the handle at a whiff of criticism, the focus was on the Houthis, warning against their attacks on Saudi territory and demanding they stop immediately.
While the Houthis have hit Saudi Arabia several times recently, it is a small fraction of cross-border strikes, with the Saudis carrying out dramatically more airstrikes against sites in Yemen.
Blame the victim of course. What are 377000 dead Yemenis?? They are only poor Arabs,- who cares? Our weapons sales to Saudi Arabia are precious, after all.
The Zionists/Saudis very much want to secure the straits to the Red Sea while they launch on Iran.
