Rights Group: 1,700 US Airstrikes Resulted in Over 2,000 Civilian Casualties in Yemen

Entisaf Organization for Women and Children’s Rights issued a report titled “Yemen Between US Strikes and the Cries of the Innocent,” highlighting the crimes committed by American forces against Yemen between March 15 and January 2025.

The report documented over 1,700 airstrikes carried out by US forces targeting civilian areas, facilities, and infrastructure, in which prohibited and advanced weaponry was used. These strikes led to the death and injury of more than 2,000 civilians, including women and children.

The report affirmed that such crimes will not deter the Yemeni people from their religious, humanitarian, and moral duty to support the Palestinian people, who are facing a war of genocide and starvation at the hands of the Zionist killing machine. It condemned the silence and inaction of the United Nations and its affiliated organizations, as well as the complicity of several regimes—including Arab countries that have normalized ties with the Zionist entity.

It considered the ongoing daily assaults on Palestinians in Gaza and on the Yemeni people to be blatant violations of international and humanitarian law and acts of genocide. The report held the Zionist entity and its supporting countries legally accountable for the extermination and starvation of civilians in Gaza. It also held the silent states legally and morally complicit in these crimes.

The report called for an immediate halt to the aggression against Yemen—its land and people—and the urgent opening of humanitarian corridors and crossings to provide aid to the Palestinian people in Gaza and end the ongoing starvation campaign they face around the clock.

It urged international organizations, especially the United Nations and the International Criminal Court, to assume their responsibilities in documenting the crimes of the Israeli and American occupations, launching an international investigation, prosecuting those responsible, compensating the victims, rebuilding destroyed infrastructure, and ensuring the unobstructed delivery of humanitarian aid.
