Since March 2015, a Saudi-led coalition has been bombing Yemen after Houthi rebels toppled its government. According to political analyst Catherine Shakdam, the international community turns a blind eye on Riyadh's war crimes in Yemen.

At least 20 people, including rescue workers and an ambulance driver, were killed recently in�a series of�airstrikes Saudi Arabia carried out�on one target in�the Yemeni province of�Saada.

The "Medecins Sans Frontieres" (Doctors Without Borders) humanitarian-aid organization said a driver of�one of�its hospitals was killed.

This is not the first time the Saudi-led coalition has carried out�a series of�airstrikes�against�one target. The sports events center in�the capital Sanaa was destroyed in�seven bombardments. The operation was carried out�to support the Yemeni government-in-exile in�its fight against�Houthi rebels.

Coalition representative Ahmad Assiri said the kingdom is not responsible for�victims of�the war.

We regret any civilians killed and wounded in�Yemen. But we should not forget that Houthi rebels and the coup they staged plunged the country into�chaos," he was quoted as�saying by�RT.

Catherine Shakdam is a political analyst, writer and commentator for�the Middle East, did not agree with�this.

The Saudi campaign against�Yemen, one of�the world�s poorest nations, has been underway for�over 10 months, and its results are unclear.

The Saudis have succeeded if their goal was to�kill as�many Yemeni people as�possible or if they wanted genocide in�the country. At the same time, the international community has not even lifted a finger over�the situation, Shakdam said.

She explained why the international community has not commented on�Saudi airstrikes in�Yemen.
"This is all about�money. Saudi Arabia is very rich and can control mass media. The kingdom also can bribe its political allies," she said.


It is unbelievable that it has been 10 months since�the airstrikes started and no efforts has been made to�settle the conflict, Fadl al-Mutaa, a member of�the Yemeni party Ansar Allah, told�Sputnik Arabic.
"They have been attacking Yemen with�their�deadly weapons�for�over 10 months. They are bombing everything, from�schools and hospitals to�airports and water storages, and even mosques. They are killing women and children. And the international community is doing nothing," he said.


"We can only rely on�Russia and its president, China and Iran that proved the efficiency of�their actions," he added.

According to�him, many foreign fighters, including from�the US,�Britain�and France, have been captured in�Yemen and then released in�exchange for�food and medicine supplies to�the conflict zone.

He also said that the Yemeni government respect Russia�s stance toward�the issue and wants to�have good relations with�Moscow.
