During the Saudi-led coalitional intervention of Yemen (2015-present), aerial strikes were conducted on infrastructure, in particular upon various bridges. The bridges targeted by military strikes were civilian objects which have been disproportionately damaged. The bridges are of vital importance to transportation and distribution of food amongst the Yemeni people. The attacks on the bridges can almost certainly be considered violations of international humanitarian law. The consequences and starvation of Yemeni’s through the destruction of these bridges, can also constitute war crimes or crimes against humanity. This project investigates some of these attacks (such as the Al Siyani Bridge)
Extracts from the dissertation and investigative report will be published when convenient and when there is appropriate time for it.
