The Eye of Humanity Center for Rights and Development and The Ministry of Public Health and Population confirmed that Saudi Arabian boarder forces are deliberately killing the people of Sa’ada and African migrants, who cross Yemen in the search for employment in Saudi Arabia. Due to lack of media coverage and public outcry, the systemic killings have remained widely unnoticed. Access to Sa’ada is difficult due to its mountenous and rugged topography, making it for outside journalists nearly impossible to reach. Despite the outstanding work of local journalists, their news rarely make it to Western media outlets arising from corporate media censorship, especially in the UK.

Research data collected between April 2022 and January 2023 show that 314 people have been killed and further 3090 were wounded in Sa’ada.
