Pictures reveal devastation by Yemeni, Saudi bombardments in Sa'dah
By: Anjum Kermani
PARIS, France: Hundreds of images obtained by Amnesty International
have revealed the true scale of the devastation caused by Yemeni and
Saudi Arabian aerial bombardments of the northern Yemeni region of
Sa'dah
The photos, given to Amnesty International by an independent source
and taken in March 2010 in and around the town of al-Nadir, show
buildings destroyed between August 2009 and February 2010 during the
latest in a series of clashes between Yemeni forces and Houthis.
Market places, mosques, petrol stations, small businesses, a primary
school, a power plant, a health centre -- and dozens of houses and
residential buildings were among the damaged or destroyed civilian
buildings photographed.
International humanitarian law forbids the targeting of civilian
objects, as well as indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks on
civilians, during conflicts. If such attacks are carried out
deliberately, they are war crimes.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
