TEHRAN, Apr 27 - Hundreds of people have gathered outside Saudi Arabia’s embassy in the Lebanese capital city of Beirut to protest against the Saudi-led military aggression against people of Yemen, which claimed the lives of thousands of civilians and left the country's infrastructure in ruins.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Demonstrators holding signs and placards chanted outside the embassy, with many calling on the United Nations and other world bodies to stop the massacres against the Yemeni people.
The demonstrators condemned the continuation of the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen, and deplored the international silence on the tragic humanitarian situation there, Iran Press reported.
The Saudi war has impacted over seven million children in Yemen who now face a serious threat of famine, according to UNICEF figures. Over 6,000 children have either been killed or sustained serious injuries since 2015, UN children’s agency said. The humanitarian situation in the country has also been exacerbated by outbreaks of cholera, polio, and measles.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched the devastating campaign on March 26, 2015, with the aim of bringing a former government to power and crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement. Riyadh has failed to fulfill its objectives.
