King Salman (R) and his son (MBS)
It was another month of Saudi airstrikes and raids in  war-torn Yemen, millions,
especially civilians, continue to face the devastation invited by the war that has been criticized across the globe. 

 Saudi led attacks killed no fewer than 108 Muslim and inflicted 7 injuries. Since the start of this blog's record keeping, this is the first month in which the majority of casualties from Saudi attacks are combatants. 

 The deadliest Saudi attack on Yemen came on 9th October when Saudi jets raided a port, a farm and a Houthi base. The strikes killed 79 Houthi fighters and 7 civilians, 9th October was the deadliest day in October. At least 29 civilians were killed by Saudi airstrikes in October. 

 However, humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate in the country. On 2nd October, a New York based charity group, Save The Children, said in a statement, “Health facilities supported by Save the Children across (Hudaydah) governorate recorded a 170 percent increase in the number of suspected cholera cases, from 497 in June to 1,342 in August". 

 On 21st November, Save The Children published finding which confirmed that  between April 2015 and October 2018 at least 84, 701 children under the age of 5 have die of hunger and disease in Yemen. 

 The UN reports that nearly half of Yemen's population (14 million) are at risk of famine.

 According to records on this blog, Saudi Arabia killed 70 at least 70 Muslims in July, 204 in August and 83 in September.

 America and her NATO allies including Britain, France and Germany major arms suppliers to the Saudi-led coalition.

 Saudi Arabia initially painted a picture of a fight between Sunnis and Shiites in Yemen, but the veil has fallen off as Yemenis as a people have voiced their anger at Saudi lead incursion on Yemen. Yemeni Muslims (according to estimates) are 70% Sunni and 30% Shiite but the armed forces consist of both ‘Sunnis’ and ‘Shiites’. 

 The countries known to be part of the Saudi lead coalition are:Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain; Qatar later pulled out. A host of other countries and entities are also silently involved in the devastating war. 

 The Saudi war on Yemen has destroyed most of the country’s water supply system leading to several cholera and diarrhea outbreaks which have claimed the lives of over 2, 200 civilians. 

 Since the start of the war in March 2015, 600, 000 have been either killed or injured. The United Nations says a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in need of food aid, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.
