Yemen's Houthi rebels have alleged that a US air strike hit a prison housing African migrants, resulting in at least 68 fatalities and 47 injuries. Video footage revealed disturbing scenes of casualties at the site, located in Saada, a Houthi stronghold. This incident underscores the ongoing devastation faced by African migrants in the conflict, who are often subjected to smuggling and abuse while attempting to reach Saudi Arabia for work. The US strikes could further ignite debates over the military operations in Yemen and their implications for human rights.
Graphic footage aired by the Houthi-aligned al-Masirah satellite news channel showed what appeared to be dead bodies and others wounded at the site.
The strike in Yemen's Saada governorate, a Houthi stronghold, is the latest incident in the country's decade-long war to see African migrants from Ethiopia and other nations killed.
