Our Procedures and Standards in Documenting Reports:
We rely upon several standards to document violations and to collect evidence by sending a specialized team to each area that was targeted by Saudi-led coalition warplanes. The field visits conducted interviews with victims' families, witnesses, doctors, and official departments. Moreover, our team documented death, injury, and damage case by case by taking pictures, medical reports, and official statements.
Background:
At two clock in the morning on Thursday the fifth of Jumada II 1436 - March 26, 2015 Saudi Ambassador to Washington announced in a news conference that a Saudi Military Operation in Yemen had begun, including the association of ten countries under the pretext of restoration of legitimacy to the resigned President, AbdoraboMansorHadi. They claimed that the military operation will be against Ansar Allah movement (Huthies) and the previous President, Ali Abdullah Saleh and the army which follow him who are part of the Yemen army.. They named the operation «Decisive Storm''. This aggression came after the Gulf Cooperation Countries announced and claimed in their report, the danger of the uprising and stability in Yemen, due to the coup started by the militias (Huthies). The Gulf Counties were worried about the security situation and the serious political conflict. They claimed that “Decisive Storm” would help Yemenis against what they called “The Rebels” to restore peace to Yemen and the region.
The countries that joined Saudi Coalition are: United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Sudan and Pakistan (which the Parliament later decided not to intervene in the operation “Decisive Storm” as they were requested to enter Yemeni soil by land); as well as the United States of America’s participation by providing logistical and intelligence support, in accordance with their announcement.
6 Legal Center for Rights and Development
While Saudi Ambassador to Washington was announcing at the news conference, Saudi-led Coalition had already begun by air and sea strikes targeting several areas in Yemen, one of them being a residential area (BeniHowat) close to Sana'a International Airport, which killed and injured tens of Yemeni civilians, including women and children; also resulted in major damage to several houses. This is a war crime.
The announcement of war was unexpected and shocking, being illegal and against the will of the Yemeni people, which in turn led the Yemeni people to take to the streets in demonstrations against this aggression.
Yemen has been under heavy bombardment, which is attacking anything in its path, humans, trees, stones, roads, bridges, agricultural grounds, infrastructure, ports, airports, sewerage systems, electric transformers, water wells, land communication networks, civilian housing, food storage facilities, food producing factories, historical sites, schools, mosques, cemeteries, sports facilities and included in this, hospitals and medical facilities, leading to the death of many injured people, due to lack of medication. Some cities have been reduced to nothing but rubble, which is a huge loss for the Yemeni people. The ongoing aggressive attack and revenge is interfering in every-day life and has destroyed the ability of the Yemeni people to be able to care for their families. It has destroyed the culture of the Yemeni people… In this book, we have documented some of the destruction with the minimum facilities available to us in this time of destruction. In reality, we could never estimate the entire catastrophe which has been wrought on Yemen due to the lack of human resources and monetary funding to travel to all the places which have been demolished by Saudi airstrikes.
The Revolutionary Committee that was previously in support of the resigned President now became the only responsible committee for Yemen and its security; however, The Revolutionary Committee considered the war against Yemen as an obvious aggression affecting our national sovereignty and called on The Coalition countries to stop war against Yemen.

Aggression against Yemen and General International Law:
Yemen met all of the Fourth Geneva Convention regulations, which are consistent with the protection of civilians during time of aggression in 1949 and Protocol thereof adopted by the Diplomatic Conference of 1977 also, the Hague Convention of 1907; as well as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and the Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations among States to identify and define gross violations ofThe General International law, International Humanitarian Law and related to the same subject in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as follows: (The deliberate killing, inhumane treatment, serious damage to body and health, deportation and non-legitimate transfer of people, The Violations and Crimes That Committed by Saudi-Led Coalition Against Civilians, destruction of properties, bombing of villages, cities, and buildings, attacking places of prayer and historical sites, with the imposition of collective punishment, with no respect for religious beliefs and rituals)
The aggression against Yemen and International Humanitarian Law:
Yemen met all of the Fourth Geneva Convention regulations, which are consistent with the protection of civilians during time of aggression in 1949 and Protocol thereof adopted by the Diplomatic Conference of 1977 also, the Hague Convention of 1907; as well as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and the Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations among States to identify and define gross violations of The General International law, International Humanitarian Law and related to the same subject in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as follows: (The deliberate killing, inhumane treatment, serious damage to body and health, deportation and non-legitimate transfer of people, The Violations and Crimes That Committed by Saudi-Led Coalition Against Civiliansdestruction of properties, bombing of villages, cities, and buildings, attacking places of prayer and historical sites, with the imposition of collective punishment, with no respect for religious beliefs and rituals)
The violations and crimes that are being committed by Saudi-led Coalition are documented and some have been listed in this report, which are considered as violations against humanity and all international norms, conventions, the Hague Convention, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1).
8 Legal Center for Rights and Development
There is systematic bombing against all Yemeni people, which we can say that Genocide is being committed against humanity. Attacking civilians is considered as a war crime which breaks all conventions especially the Charter of Rome in 1988; and violators must be punished.
On 14th of June, 2010, members of the International Criminal Court agreed upon what constitutes a crime of aggression, which was contested on the definition between countries for more than 10 years. Member States agreed to amend the Charter of Rome, by the founding of the court, to define the crime of aggression as «the planning, preparation and start or execution of a person in a position to control or direct the political or military action of the state, to act aggressively and that nature, magnitude and seriousness of a violation of the Charter of the United Nations.»
Under the resolution adopted at the end of a review of the Charter of the Rome Conference, the blockade of ports or coasts of a State by the armed forces of another state in addition to the invasion or attack of state troops belonging to the territory of another state are all considered acts of aggression under the convention.
Legal Center for Human Rights and Development works to the utmost of their ability to protect humans rights and to monitor violations in order to present them for public opinion. Legal center has been monitoring violations on Yemeni soil since the announcement by Saudi Arabia of the operation «Decisive storm».
Attacking civilians, cities and villages, including residential areas are considered the most crucial of our monitoring work. The direct attack of civilians has caused the death of thousands of people. Saudi air strikes have dropped and are still dropping thousands of missiles on civilians until the writing of this report.
The purpose of writing this report is mainly to document the inhumane conditions caused by the attack of Saudi Arabia on the Yemeni people, to reach out to the world and show them of the genocide being committed.
Legal Center hopes that this report will help Yemen to survive Saudi killing machine with its allies; we hope that the International community will bring these violators of International Law to justice as soon as possible.

Many people were killed, many received injuries and bodies were torn into pieces. In addition, this led to the complete destruction of many cars, motorcycles, and the building of the United Nation which is an awful crime for no reasons. Gulf States and international organizations know that it is a camp for the IDPs. After the bombing, I immediately moved to the scene, trying to save my family, we tried as much as possible to save and rescue the injured people. What I saw was a very hideous massacre which claimed the life of many IDPs. I was unable to identify many of them due to the torn bodies.
The IDP: (M.A.N.G) (50 years old) reported that while he was at his tent with his family, he suddenly heard the first bombing nearby the gate, then he heard a great explosion targeted the gate of the camp which shocked and terrified him and his family.

Massacre of FajAttan - Sana’a 20th April, 2015
79 Legal Center for Rights and Development
Introduction:
Since Saudi Kingdom and its coalition started aggression against Yemen on the 26th of March, 2015 Saudi-led Coalition airstrikes targeted many different places around the capital city of Sana’a. One of them is called FajAttan in Al Sabeen district, one of the largest and highly populated areas in Sana’a.
Place: Attan area - Al Sabeen district in the southern part of the capital city of Sana’a, a residential area called Faj Attan, a high class area for residency and companies.
Time and date: On Monday 20th April, at 10:30 a.m.
Violation type: Saudi-led Coalition airstrikes bombed Attan Mountain with internationally forbidden weapon causing a huge explosion which led to the death and injury of many civilians and varying damage on residential homes and companies. The damage has reached more than 3,000 housing units.
Violators: Saudi-led Coalition and its allies (United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, and Sudan as well as the United States of America’s participation by providing logistical and intelligence support, in accordance with their announcement.
Legal Center has documented airstrikes since the war started, the number of airstrikes have reached (130) strikes most of them were committed after midnight terrifying children and women. On April 18, 2015 a huge explosion was heard which had targeted the residential area of Faj Attan and shocked the whole city. There are many reports of that tens of people were killed.
A few minutes later Legal Center received calls from social websites which were calls for help from Attan area telling people that there was a terrible smell in the air like chlorine, which turned out to be poisonous and led to the death injury of many people.

Legal Center called emergency centers in different hospitals to document the number of victims and on the second day, the team at Legal Center visited Al Gomhori Hospital to document the cases that were reported on the previous day. Doctors have reported that many cases arrived at the hospital unable to breath due to the poisoned gas. LegalCenter Team documented all cases by taking statements, videos, pictures and medical reports. - Akram Al-Bshari, 20 years old was killed and his body is still in the hospital morgue. Doctors reported that Akram arrived to hospital with terrible breathing problems due to the poisoned gas Saudi-led Coalition used which is one of the internationally forbidden weapons to bomb Attan Mountain. Doctors could not save Akrams' life and so many people like him because hospitals lack the basic medications to help patients like Akram.
In addition, one of the doctors at Al Gomhori Hospital reported that «There are four members from one family who arrived at the hospital, also with terrible breathing difficulties. After doctors did an X-ray they found presence of holes in the lungs. The same result was found in many different patients and some of them passed away suffering from the poisoned gas.
Legal Center documented eyewitnesses and victims' family statements about the incident.
Yemeni specialists and doctors confirmed that the gas was an internationally forbidden weapon causing the death of many people and still many of them are still suffering till the moment of writing this report. They are in need of urgent medical attention which can only be given by leaving Yemen to get better medical treatment.
Documenting the bombing massacre on Faj Attan on Monday 20th April, 2015. On this morning, Legal Center team moved to the crime scene to document violations and to take witnesses' statements on the Attan massacre that was committed on 20th April, 2015 by Saudi-led Coalition.
While our team was documenting Saudi war planes were over flying the bombed area and suddenly Saudi war planes started bombing the same place for the second time hours causing massive explosions that once again shocked the inhabitants of the capital city of Sana’a.

In Azal district, which is in the eastern part of the Capital city of Sana'a, there is a neighborhood called (Noqum). Noqum is well known as a Crowded residential neighborhood. Tens of houses, private companies, hospitals , emprises, famous hotels, and so many private properties are located at Noqum area. The time of violation: Monday, at 5:30 pm

Five o'clock in the evening ,on Monday, May 11,2015 warplanes of Saudi Arabia and its coalition bombed (Noqum) mountain claiming that this mountain is a store of weapons but the countries know that the mountain is located near the thousands of homes and civilian buildings and the area is crowded with civilians.
Saudi Arabia has been using internationally forbidden bombs in the bombing of (Noqum) area and that led to huge explosions putting the lives of civilians at huge risk.
132 Legal Center for Rights and Development
Violators:
After about half an hour of continuous explosions ( which is documented by the center), the warplanes of Saudi Arabia and its alliance returned but in this raid returned with bombs and missiles made to destroy cities and kill innocent children, women and civilians.
A huge explosion shook the capital of Sana'a, where the population saw mass of fire, smoke and gases that emitted with the explosion and escalated block to a higher level of (Noqum) mountain which reached a height of more than one kilometer. The small fiery bloc began to go higher then expanded towards the top of the mountain and we saw firearms block filled with small sizes of ballistics that were flying in all directions. The firearms exploded and completely destroyed everything around them. This horrible scene was documented by the center and it shows how the explosion inflicted ten Kilometers from the center of the explosion. Witnesses have assured that they had seen Saudi-led coalition airstrikes flying at a low level and then dropped a very large bomb that weights more than a ton and saw the escalation of fiery block of bullets and fiery shells that spread in all directions and was destroying everything they fall on. Also, they saw many bombs in the neighborhoods nearby the explosion center, the bombs exploded as they hit a ground , homes or citizens and they saw children, women and men had fallen dead and wounded due to the fall of those things on them or near to them.
Due to the great explosion and its destructive power that has widened in all the eastern neighborhoods of the capital Sana'a, we documented the damages and destruction in the thousands of homes and dozens of schools, mosques, government facilities, judicial and educational, and hundreds of shops . Even the embassies of some of the countries participating in the aggression against Yemen were destroyed such as Qatar Embassy that is very close to the explosion center and almost 300 meters away, and next to it the British embassy, these two embassies were greatly damaged, and US embassy that is 2 km away was destroyed. Qatar and the United States are part of athealliance of Saudi Arabia in its aggression on Yemen.
Legal Center documented dozens of testimonies and statements of victims and their families and we documented comprehensive destruction cases in Noqum neighborhood and nearby areas like Bab Al Salam neighborhood , Khawlan and Mosaik Streets and the residential city.
133 Legal Center for Rights and Development
We also documented the killing of the victims in Madhbah area, which is located on the western side of the capital Sana'a, almost 10 km away from Noqum mountain
One of the tragic stories caused by the explosion is that there were two children playing near their home, which is only about a hundred meters from the summit of Noqum mountain that had weapons store and had been bombed, they heard the first explosion and ran to survive so they tried to find protection by the wall of a neighbor’s house, one of the two children is eight years old ,he said:” We were very scared and terrified, we cried from the intensity of the explosions that we heard and after that we tried to hide from the explosion and wanted to go to our homes so I went out of the place where we were hiding and saw the fumes and gases dense and we heard the voices of the launch rockets. As we escaped to our homes, we saw a big fire which is bigger than Noqum Mountain so we ran quickly with all our strength and suddenly we heard a big explosion tossed me and my friend twenty steps away and we fell to the ground and tried to get up, but I'd suffocated from the thick smoke that covered the area and saw spots of blood in my body and I called my friend but he did not answer me and I walked with difficulty and after a few steps I saw my friend and his body lying on the floor, headless and blood coming from him and then I fainted and I woke up in the hospital).
A civilian at the age of 53 years we found in Al Thawra hospital told us his tragedy, his house is located next to Al Rayyan mosque and away from the explosion center only a kilometer. while he was with his children -Mohammed , 4 years old and Osama, 6 years old - at home, they heard explosions then crashed windows of the house and blown the doors of the rooms and furniture, the father tried to reassure the rest of the house but he did not find anything suitable for life and in the meantime the father was watching his children troubled and fell of fear and panic whenever they heard the sound of missiles explosion, which lasted more than 20 minutes and the father did not find ploy to get away from home and escape his children, they were crying loudly and went out of the house to look for a safe place to preserve himself and his children and during his escape from his home he saw a large bullets block and shrapnel flying inside this fire from the mountain side, this fire and the attendant smoke and gass and things were flying through more extensive and shocked all people who saw this criminal act. This father tried to find refuge and protect his children from the momentum of this explosion, which his strength began to loom on the horizon, the explosion and shrapnel were the fastest, one of the shrapnel that was flying in the air and looking for a victim to cut his head, Mohammed who was in the arms of his father, Other shrapnel chose the body of the child Osama that is penetrated his gut.
134 Legal Center for Rights and Development
Osama was in the arms of his father whose spleen and one of the kidneys were removed by intervention of surgeons,At the same moments that were shrapnel tearing his children there was a shrapnel of the share of this father that tore his right foot and fell to the ground unconscious and woke in the intensive care unit after the intervention of doctors in the revitalization to back him to life bringing with him the loss of a child and the other suffering the tragedy of a child who has lost some vital organs of his body, which will spend the rest of his life suffering from this infirmity.
After the first bombing of Noqum Mountain at five o'clock the paramedics rushed to the scene of the bombing, the place of the bombing was close to the highway where cars pass, once the ambulance arrived to the bombing area they saw the warplanes of Saudi Arabia bombing the place again and killing some of the paramedics and scattered their bodies to pieces and wounded others seriously, one of them amputated legs and another lost his arms and another suffered from burns of first degree.
The fire did not stop killing people and injuring them but also it had another aim that was to follow the killed and injured people to the hospital where they got the treatment, including Al-Thawra Hospital which is almost 2km away from explosion center.
Al-Thawra Hospital is located in Noqum area, this hospital is considered as the first hospital in Yemen in medical machines and surgical and therapeutic sections. The external clinic and blood and kidney section got destroyed and stopped completely.The medical machines that are the only machines in Yemen including examination machine for thyroid got destroyed, too.
Legal center documented injury cases in Al-Thawra Hospital including cases were in the delivery section of some women got injured with shrapnel from the bombing in Noqum mountain. Also we documented two cases of miscarriage. Other cases include people who got injured with glass shrapnel that scattered on the bodies, others were fainted, and others fell on medical devices and medical equipment that were scattered to the clinics and medical rooms.
Three km from the explosion center, we documented the cases of children and women that fainted because of the explosion, and young women in their twenties were convulsing and lost consciousnessand lost their self-control after hearing the explosions, that caused them to fell on the ground unconscious and exposure to infections and wounds.
135 Legal Center for Rights and Development
Legal center: we scanned neighborhoods that are near the center of the explosion and we saw that all these neighborhoods were destroyed, some got destroyed completely and others partially, and thousands of homes got shattered windows and doors. Schools, mosques and hundreds of shops were damaged, too.
Also, we documented cases in (Madhbah) neighborhood which is (10 km) away and one girl -(7) years- went to Althawra hospital because she got a shrapnel wound.
Legal center:it had the role in documenting the moments of the shelling where it has documented the effects of the first explosion at 5 o'clock, and documented the shelling that the latest comprehensive destruction on a massive level of neighborhoods of the capital Sana'a.
Also it documented the moment of the huge explosion, which generated a large block of the fire reaching a height of more than (1) km in the form of a huge fire mass emitted from it shrapnel and bombs with gases and fumes that led to suffocated the residents in homes which were near the explosion center.
Also it documented almost complete disruption of life and mass displacement in those neighborhoods because of what caused the bombing of mass destruction in those areas with a population approximately (70,000) people.
It documented hundreds of cases of fear and panic as a result of the magnitude of the fire and the power of the explosion and weapons used by Saudi Arabia andits alliance in the extermination of civilians, children, women and all ages and as a result of concerted evidence and the evidence it became possible to say that Saudi Arabia and its alliance have used Thermobaric, Thermonuclear and Cluster bombs and internationallyforbidden weapons that targeted the civilians and civilian objects and killed children, women and elderly, and did not take any preventive measures during the using, there are also credible evidence confirms that the weapons used by Saudi Arabia and its alliance with the effects of future pose a threat to the lives of civilians and all forms of life.
136 Legal Center for Rights and Development
Regarding to such crimes, Legal center makes an urgent appeal to the United Nations and High Commissioner for Human Rights to stop quickly the violations of Saudi Arabia and its alliance which endanger the lives of thousands of civilians including children and women to the risk of immediate and future and stop this war which targeted all elements of human life which is a flagrant and clear violation for all rules, laws, norms, international treaties and conventions and violation of all charters of the United Nations, and we emphasize by the evidence that Saudi Arabia and its alliance have committed war crimes and crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity against the Yemeni people which have to punishable by international and domestic law.
All perpetrators and all contributed in these crimes must be subject to the punishment, no statute of limitations of years, but the international law gives the right to try all countries that stood with this aggression and supported it, and all the companies and countries that made weapons and sold or provided to Saudi Arabia and its alliance, There is no doubt that the United States has a big role after Saudi Arabia and its alliance in the killing of Yemeni civilians, as they are sold arms and provided assistance and logistical support to Saudi Arabia and its alliance to launch this war, and the statements of US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry and US officials are confessions and these are sufficient evidence for trial for those crimes that the human will not forget it.
Human Rights Watch Organization have been sent a message in 05/05/2015 to US President Barack Obama urging him to stop the war against Yemenis, and proved in the message the occurrence of targeting Yemeni civilians by cluster bombs, and therefore the organization called on the United States to stop selling cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia.
The spokesman for the alliance (Major General Ahmed Asiri) has said that Saudi Arabia used in its war against Yemen cluster bombs, the excuse that the United States is selling those bombs to Saudi Arabia, and that means that the United States has broken the international embargo on the sale of these bombs that was actually banned.
137 Legal Center for Rights and Development
Legal center: we stress and continue to call for the formation of aninternational commission of inquiry about the use of Saudi Arabia and its alliance in the war on Yemen, internationally forbidden weapons including cluster bombs and bombs steric tactical nuclear bombs, and about targeting coalition of civilians and civilian objects and objects of cultural and historical monuments, mosques and archaeological places.
We also call for all liberals of the world to back to the teachings of the divine religions and tolerant and stop the attacks on Yemen also stop the war and stop the killing of children, women and civilians and stop destroying infrastructure in Yemen and vital installations, and also we call to stop ongoing war since the date of 26.03.2015 launched by Saudi Arabia and its alliance in the war as soon as possible, lifting the siege on Yemeni people who be imposed Saudi Alliance and brought a lot of suffering of the Yemeni people, which is already suffering from the scourge of civil wars.
