Israel’s latest airstrikes in Yemen have left devastating damage in the capital, Sanaa, with residential areas reduced to rubble and families struggling to rebuild without support.
According to figures released late Thursday by the rebel-run health ministry, the strikes on Wednesday killed 46 people, including 11 women and five children and injured 165 others. Most of the victims were in Sanaa, where rebel officials also reported that 11 local journalists lost their lives.
The attack was carried out in response to a drone launched by Houthi rebels, which managed to breach Israel’s air defenses and hit a southern Israeli airport, shattering glass windows and injuring one person. In Yemen, the strikes also targeted a military headquarters, a fuel station in Sanaa, and a government facility in Hazm, the capital of Jawf province. The country’s culture ministry said the National Museum of Yemen was damaged, with footage showing parts of its façade destroyed.
For Sanaa’s residents already worn down by years of civil war the destruction has brought new hardship. Many said they cannot afford repairs, while local authorities have offered no financial or reconstruction assistance.
