According to the International Red Cross, the coalition has bombed and completely destroyed a prison controlled by the Houthis, killing at least 100 people and injuring another 40.
The coalition claimed it targeted a “military compound” that “stores drones and missiles” and that the Houthis were masking it by “claiming it was a secret prison”
The Red Cross had visited the prison before, according to Franz Rauchenstein: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/s...men-prison
Meanwhile the arm sales to the coalition continue.
On 24 July, President Donald Trump vetoed 3 congressional resolutions aimed at blocking the sale of billions of dollars worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Secretary of state Mike Pompeo had argued that threats from Iran are more than enough reason to approve the $8.1 billion arms sale to the 2 genocidal US allies in the Middle East.
The toothless US Congress spoke a lot of empty big words, but won´t do anything to stop the ongoing sale of weapons.
House foreign affairs committee chairman Eliot Engel said for example:
Also the arms sales from the UK continue, only approving new sales to Saudi Arabia are blocked by the ruling of the Court of Appeal.
The British government has been given permission to appeal to the UK’s Supreme Court to overturn that ruling.
The Supreme Court rejected the Government’s application to lift the temporary block on new export licences. This means that the more than 50 outstanding and new applications can not be approved for the time being: https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/uk-ne...di-arabia/

Despite empty promises to lift it, the naval blockade of the port of Hodeidah port by the coalition has continued to this day.
The ongoing support for the war against Yemen effectively makes “aid” meaningless.
The stated priorities of US President Donald Trump, and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to push arms deals, with the support of the United Nations, shows that the mass slaughter will continue (more than 1000 Yemeni kids dying every single week of starvation alone...): https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/commen...s-continue

Quote:The president’s veto sends a grim message that America’s foreign policy is no longer rooted in our core values – namely a respect for human rights – and that he views Congress not as a co-equal branch of government, but an irritant to be avoided or ignored.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...udi-arabia
