Kementerian
Pertahanan Yaman, yang dikawal oleh Houthis, berkata di laman webnya bahawa 40
orang, termasuk wanita dan kanak-kanak, terbunuh dan 250 orang menerima
kecederaan.
"Pesawat
perang Arab mensasarkan satu daripada 4 kem-kem pelarian di daerah Harad, yang
membawa kepada kematian dan kecederaan beberapa penghuninya," kata
kementerian itu. "Serangan udara Kem 1 disasarkan di rantau Mazraq, yang
menempatkan kira-kira 4,000 pelarian, meninggalkan lebih daripada 40 orang mati
- termasuk wanita dan kanak-kanak - Dan lebih 250 yang lain cedera"
Yemen’s
Defense Ministry, which is controlled by the Houthis, said on its website that
40 people, including women and children, were killed and another 250 people
received injuries.
Menteri
Luar Yemen dibuang, Riyadh Yaseen, menyalahkan Houthis untuk kematian kepada
mereka yang di kem pelarian Mazraq.
Letupan
itu bukan disebabkan oleh gabungan itu, tetapi oleh "serangan
meriam," yang mana pemberontak bertanggungjawab, Yaseen kepada wartawan di
ibu Saudi, Riyadh.
Rantau
Mazraq, berhampiran sempadan Arab, menjadi tuan rumah kepada satu kelompok kem,
di mana beribu-ribu Yemen pelarian dan pendatang Afrika Timur tinggal. Sekitar
750 keluarga terpaksa melarikan diri ke kem-kem dari rantau tengah Houthi dari
Saada di utara Yaman sejak operasi Arab dipimpin bermula.
Yemen's
exiled foreign minister, Riyadh Yaseen, has blamed the Houthis for the deaths
of people at the Mazraq refugee camp.
The
blast was not caused by the coalition, but by “artillery strikes,” which the
rebels are responsible for, Yaseen told journalists in Saudi capital, Riyadh.
The
Mazraq region, near the Saudi border, hosts a cluster of camps, in which
thousands of displaced Yemenis and East African migrants reside. Around 750
families have been forced to flee to the camps from the Houthi heartland region
of Saada in northern Yemen since the Saudi-led operation began.

Serangan udara juga telah disasarkan angkatan Houthi mara di bandar pelabuhan Aden, benteng terakhir presiden Arab yang disokong, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Saksi-saksi memberitahu akhbar harian Sabah bahawa gabungan itu dihujani tapak tentera pemberontak yang dikawal berhampiran Gunung Nuqum di bahagian timur modal Sanaa, dengan Houthis menjawab dengan api anti-pesawat.
The air strikes also have targeted the Houthi forces advancing on the port city of Aden, the last bastion of the Saudi-backed president, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Sementara
itu, jurucakap operasi Arab yang dipimpin, Ahmed ASIRI, berkata bahawa
kuasa-kuasa gabungan tentera laut telah mengepung pelabuhan Yaman, AP
melaporkan.

pejuang daripada memasuki atau keluar dari negara, ASIRI menjelaskan.

yang dipimpin, bertujuan untuk melemahkan militia Syiah Houthi, yang mengambil
alih negara ini selepas peletakan jawatan Presiden Hadi pada bulan Januari.

Para
pemberontak di Yaman yang disokong oleh Iran, tetapi Houthis telah menafikan
bahawa mereka menerima senjata dari Tehran.
Sementara
itu, Pakistan ditetapkan untuk menyertai gabungan tersebut yang dipimpin Saudi beberapa
Negara Teluk, Sudan, Mesir dan Maghribi dalam perjuangan mereka menentang
pemberontak Yaman, kata seorang pegawai kanan kerajaan Pakistan.
"Kami
telah menyatakan sokongan penuh kepada Arab Saudi dalam operasi menentang
pemberontak dan akan menyertai gabungan tersebut," kata pegawai itu,
seperti yang dipetik oleh Reuters.
Keadaan
di Yaman sebelum ini sangat penuh, tetapi serangan udara Arab yang dipimpin
telah menyumbang kepada menjadikan negara itu "sesuatu bencana
kemanusiaan," Timbalan Pengarah Bahagian Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara
Human Rights Watch Joe
Stork,, memberitahu RT.
"Ia
benar-benar sukar untuk melihat apa yang baik mungkin boleh keluar dari kempen
ini. Saya rasa, terus-terang, ini adalah soalan politik, bukan soal hak asasi
manusia, tetapi ia benar-benar sukar untuk melihat bagaimana kerajaan Hadi
mungkin boleh dipulihkan di bawah keadaan ini, "katanya.
Stork
percaya bahawa terdapat "tanda kecil yang ada Pelan B" yang telah
dibangunkan oleh gabungan itu, dan ia masih kelihatan tidak jelas apa Endgame
yang mungkin untuk kempen Yaman itu.
Pada
bulan Ogos 2014, pemberontak Houthi melanda turun dari kubu kuat mereka di
pergunungan, menuntut pembaharuan ekonomi dan politik.
Pada
bulan-bulan berikutnya, mereka merampas pemasangan negeri utama di ibu negara
Sanaa dan memaksa kedua-dua presiden dan PM untuk meletakkan jawatan.
Selepas
mengumumkan genggaman mereka kuasa di Yaman, yang Houthis terus mara ke selatan
negara itu, menyita bandar satu demi satu.
The
rebels in Yemen are supported by Iran, but the Houthis have denied that they
are receiving weapons from Tehran.
Meanwhile,
Pakistan is set to join the Saudi-led coalition of several Gulf States, Sudan,
Egypt and Morocco in their fight against the Yemen rebels, a senior Pakistani
government official said.
“We
have already pledged full support to Saudi Arabia in its operation against
rebels and will join the coalition,” the official said, as cited by Reuters.
The
situation in Yemen was previously very fraught, but the Saudi-led airstrikes
have contributed to turning the country into “something of a humanitarian
catastrophe,” Joe Stork, deputy director for Human Rights Watch's Middle East
and North Africa Division, told RT.
“It’s
really hard to see what good can possibly come out of this campaign. I think,
frankly, this is a political question, not a human rights question, but it’s
really difficult to see how the government of Hadi could possibly be restored
under this circumstances,” he said.
Stork
believes that there’s “little indication that there’s a Plan B” which has been
developed by the coalition, and it still seems unclear what the endgame might
be for the Yemen campaign.
In
August 2014, Houthi rebels swept down from their stronghold in the mountains,
demanding economic and political reforms.
In the
following months, they seized key state installations in capital Sanaa and
forced both the president and PM to resign.
After
announcing their grasp of power in Yemen, the Houthis continued advancing to
the south of the country, seizing cities one after the other.
