#OnThisDay Norwegian Refugee Council facility damaged by Saudi Arabia-led coalition bombings

Five years ago today, the Saudi-led Coalition aircraft bombed the Hadda district in Sana’a, injuring seven civilians, including four children. The attack damaged several houses, including an NRC guesthouse with the organisation’s staff. The force of the blast damaged the NRC guesthouse, located less than 100 metres from the impact site, cracking the walls and blowing in windows.

“NRC has provided all relevant parties to the conflict, including the Saudi-led Coalition, with details and coordinates on our operations in order to ensure the safety of our staff.”

“NRC demands investigation of Sana’a air strike near NRC facility,”
