The genocide in Yemen is ignored by most media. This could be the single worst case of genocide since the 1950s, and if nobody blows the whistle it will continue...
The state media blame the supposed “civil war” on the Houthis or Saudi Arabia, but in reality it is another genocide orchestrated by the United Nations, UK, USA, UAE and Saudi Arabia.
After the war against Yemen was intensified in March 2015, in 2016 alone more than 50,000 Yemeni children died of “preventable causes”, and since then the situation has gotten even worse. Most Yemenis have died not directly from the bombs of the “coalition” but because of starvation and disease as food supplies, agriculture, energy and water utilities were targeted. It’s hard to estimate the total death toll, but I would be surprised if it is less than 400,000...

See a Yemeni girl, dying of hunger.



Two thousand children per week die
A lot of reports, based on information of the UN, state that “more than 10,000” civilians in Yemen have died because of the bombs by Saudi Arabia. Much more than that is dying because of starvation.

In December 2016, UNICEF already knew that:

Quote

At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen. That’s the conclusion of a report just published by the U.N. children’s agency, UNICEF. The report also found that there has been a 200 percent increase since 2014 in children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, with almost half a million affected. Nearly 2.2 million children are in need of urgent care.

Let’s do the math.
At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen.
More than 6 per hour.
More than 144 per day.
More than 1000 per week.
More than 4320 per month.
More than 52,500 per year.

Already in April 2015 (that’s almost 4 years ago!), food supplies across Yemen were running out, and petrol stations empty. As the blockade continues, the country’s food shortage becomes even more severe.
Yemen Economic Corporation, one of Yemen’s largest food storage centres, was destroyed by 3 missiles of the coalition: http://www.thenational.ae/world/middle-east/yemeni-civilians-struggle-to-get-by-amid-conflict

Attacks on electricity and water installations as well as food storage centres will inevitably cause severe harm to civilians: https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/05/18/dispatches-renewed-fighting-yemen-should-not-mean-renewed-violations

In a press conference in January 2018, the Yemeni Ministry of Health says that because of the war against Yemen, 52,000 children died in 2016 for preventable causes. That’s 1000 every week, almost a child every 10 minutes.

Some 35,000 Yemenis were killed or wounded by airstrikes since the war started in March 2015. That’s about 35 people every day.
The war by the coalition has also triggered a cholera outbreak that has killed 2,236 people so far.
Because of the ceaseless aggression, more than 55% of the health facilities don’t function, and the remaining 45% operates with a minimum capacity.
As a direct result of the airstrikes, 415 health facilities have been destroyed, either completely or partially.

Some 2 million Yemeni children suffer from malnutrition, of which half a million are dying of starvation.
According to the World Food Programme, more than 21 million Yemenis are in need of humanitarian assistance, and more than 9 million are expected to enter the stage of starvation: http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/01/02/547641/Yemen-Saudi-war

Since December 2016 the famine in Yemen has become even worse...

Michelle Nunn of Care USA, estimated 1 1/years ago that “A child dies in Yemen every 5 minutes”; more than 2000 per week, more than 104,000 per year.
The biggest arm suppliers to Saudi Arabia, are: 1) the United States with 52.0% and 2) Britain 27.1%.
The remaining 20.8% is exported to Saudi Arabia, by countries that include: Spain, France, Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Turkey, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, China, South Africa, Georgia, Austria, Slovakia, and Bulgaria: http://archive.is/MrshH

See some Yemeni children dying of starvation.





UNICEF blatantly lying
I’ve actually based some of this story on the information from the UN...

“At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen” means that more than a thousand children died every single week from starvation in 2016 (more than 52,000 a year)…
Since then the human catastrophe has gotten even worse, at this moment more than 104,000 Yemeni child die per year…

Now it gets really strange as the United Nations ignores its own information that “At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen” to come up in January 2018 with a total of 13,600 Yemenis that were killed…

According to UNICEF:

Quote

Over 5,000 children have been killed by Saudi Arabia's war on Yemen since it began in March 2015, says a report by the UN children's agency.
(…)
The report published by UNICEF on Tuesday, noted that the Saudi war had killed "an average of five children every day since March 2015."
(…)
More than 13,600 people have been killed since the onset of the Saudi-led war on Yemen in 2015.

(archived here: http://archive.is/a6tYF)

Technically speaking, calling more than 200,000 dying Yemeni children “Over 5,000 children” isn’t a lie, but it is kind of misleading…
There’s no denying that saying “the Saudi war had killed an average of five children every day since March 2015” is a blatant lie!

According to the UN’s Geert Cappelaere:

Quote

The war in Yemen is sadly a war on children. Yemen is facing the worst humanitarian crisis I have ever seen in my life.

UNICEF in its greatest philanthropic disguise flew 1.9 million doses of vaccines to Yemen to vaccinate 600,000 children against diphtheria, meningitis, whopping cough, pneumonia and tuberculosis.

Maybe somebody can tell these “humanitarian” organisations that vaccines don’t offer immunity against starvation and lack of clean drinking water...

According to Mark Lowcock, UN undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, the “coalition” blockade of Yemen, will lead to:

Quote

the largest famine the world has seen for many decades with millions of victims.

The UN Security Council “demanded” that Saudi Arabia will open all borders into Yemen and allow humanitarian aid deliveries into the country. Sure: “ask” them politely…
The French Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported that its flights were denied clearance into Yemen for 3 days.
The International Red Cross said its shipment of chlorine tablets, to “fight cholera”. No clean water or food, but fighting “cholera” and vaccines are priority number one: http://www.dw.com/en/yemen-facing-largest-famine-in-decades-if-blockade-isnt-lifted-un-aid-chief-says/a-41308061


Yemen starved to death
Tariq Riebl, an aid worker for an international humanitarian organisation stated:

Quote

I witnessed about a thousand air strikes. Some of them were very close. I almost burst my eardrum in one.

In Sanaa the strikes lasted up to five hours, “

Quote

You’d have that four to six times a day. It would start randomly. It was the middle of the night, middle of the day, morning, night, afternoon, anytime. Consistently on holidays, on Fridays, in the middle of prayer time, market days (…)
Let’s be very clear, the civilian targeting is absolutely astounding. I’ve seen hospitals, mosques, marketplaces, restaurants, power plants, universities, residential houses, just bombed, office buildings, bombed. Everything is a target. In Saada, there were dead donkeys on the side of all the main roads because the Saudis were hitting donkey carts. In Hajjah, the water tank in one of the towns got hit, and it sits on a lonesome little hill.

The result of the blockade and the bombing is that 7 million of the country’s 27 million population is on the verge of starvation. The number of food insecure people in Yemen has risen by three million during seven months. More than 17 million Yemenis are forced to skip meals.
The UN International Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned that 462,000 children are suffering from acute malnutrition in Yemen. UNICEF said that at least 370,000 children are at risk of severe malnutrition, and without urgent treatment will die. An estimated 1.5 million children are malnourished.

According to repeated statements from the UN, over 14 million Yemenis (more than half the population) are living in hunger. The threat of mass starvation is compounded by a rapidly spreading cholera epidemic.
In other words, with the aid of the developed world, Saudi Arabia and its allies are starving an entire population – that’s genocide.
The USA has sold a whopping $115 billion to Saudi Arabia since Obama took office: http://www.globalresearch.ca/un-warns-us-saudi-war-threatens-mass-starvation-in-yemen/5553857

This is what Yemeni children look like, dying of starvation.



Here is a 10:50 video that shows the effects of the UK/US/Saudi led coalitian’s war against Yemen.
There are several interviews with nurses, it shows amongst others dying children because of malnutrition, mothers trying to keep the flies away...
And a protest in Sanaa blaming the US government for selling weapons to the Saudis, but not the American citizens.


Here’s a video by Oxfam on what is (still) happening in Yemen.

what about the genocides in the African Continent . do they count.....

You cannot solve the world's problems, Only GOD can!
