Local authority in Laj: Five medical staff were killed and dozens were injured when the Houthis attacked a health center in Ras al-Ara. The local authority in the governorate reported that five of the medical staff members were killed and dozens were injured with various injuries, as a result of the Houthi militia targeting the health center in the area in al-Mudarba and Ras al-Ara, demanding to send teams to investigate the facts and ensure international responsibility. In a statement published by the district's information office, the local authority condemned the attack, describing it as "a flagrant violation of all international laws, customs and treaties that guarantee the protection of health facilities and medical personnel during armed conflicts." She emphasized that focusing on the center, which provides medical care to the sick and wounded, represents an attack on human values and a crime that requires international condemnation and responsibility, and emphasized that medical teams perform their duties far from the scenes of military conflict, and should not be the target of military operations. She called on the United Nations organizations operating in Yemen, human rights organizations and international humanitarian organizations, and the International Committee of the Red Cross to condemn the damage, send special teams to investigate the facts, document its circumstances, make an inventory of the victims and damages and act to ensure criminal responsibility in accordance with international law. She also called for providing urgent medical care to the wounded, supporting health facilities in the district with the necessary needs and supplies, ensuring the protection of health facilities, medical teams, ambulances and humanitarian workers, and putting an end to harming civilians and civilian facilities.
