On World Health Day, April 7, which carries the slogan “Health for All”, the Saudi-led coalition celebrated the day in its own kind of way, which is through shedding the blood of children and women. The spokesman called on the international community to hold its responsibility in this regard.

In the context, the media affiliated with the Saudi-UAE-led coalition recognized their bloody crime today in the Sanaa neighborhood of the capital Sanaa, where the channel described the targeting of a girls school as a “military police camp” in a desperate attempt to evade the crime and to mislead public opinion.

Moreover, the official spokesman of the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier Yahya Saree affirmed the deaths and the injury of many civilians today, including female students by raids conducted by the US-backed Saudi-led coalition on residential areas in Sa’wan district, north of the capital.
