Doctors in Yemen have been warning about the rise in stillbirths and deformities as a result of the war for some time.
“Fetal malformations could occur due to several reasons, including mothers’ diseases and subsequent viral infection of the faction and/or poor nutrition,” Wafa al-Mamari, an obstetrician at al-Rahma Hospital in northern Sana’a, told Press TV in July.
“The strange thing is that the rate of fetal abnormalities is growing and doctors cannot explain the causes, meaning that the phenomenon could be attributed to war and ordinances, given the fact that a great proportion of women with deformed fetuses hailed from bombarded areas in the provinces of Sa’adah, Sana’a, Ta’izz and Hudaydah,” she said.
Yemen is suffering a humanitarian crisis as the two-year conflict continues between a Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi rebels. The people of Yemen are at the brink of famine, with food and aid supplies cut off and almost seven million being pushed towards starvation, Oxfam warned in its latest release.
The UN estimates at least 10,000 civilian casualties have occurred since March 2015, when Saudi Arabia began bombing the country in support of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, who fled Yemen in 2015. The bombardment began to remove the Houthi rebels from the capital, which they had captured in 2014.
On Thursday, Amnesty International again condemned both the US and the UK for supplying arms to Saudi Arabia which have been used to kill civilians. Both countries provide intelligence and logistic support to Saudi Arabia and have, according to Amnesty, sold more than $5 billion in weapons to the kingdom in the last two years

No one can ever forgive those wicked evil men and women of the west who are totally responsible for this misery. It is about time these wicked evil people were made to pay every dollar they have to the people for medical expenses and lives destroyed, and they should be locked up forever. Why people continue to be programmed mindless stupid sheep and believe the distorted truths of their governments and the controlled media, how on earth can we ever have pieces. No child deserves to come into a world to suffer like this a deliberate act to kill and wipe out large populations. Just who the hell do these evil low lives think they are to do this to humanity. Wake up world and let’s get these bastards lets drag them out into the streets where people can smash them up. There are the most wicked evil low life running this planet they are the lowest forms of sub humans, there is going to come a time when the people will rise up and hunt them down may of these snakes will slither into the underground bases they have had built out of your taxes, as thy believe they can escape but mother earth will no longer tolerate this virus on her world, and will spew them up out of their underground bases like the puss they are as there will be no escape for them. The world will only be at piece when we exterminate the filth ruling it.
