The American Center for Justice (ACJ) condemns the missile attack that targeted a camp for displaced persons today in Raghwan District, Marib Governorate, killing two children and injuring 15 others, most of them children.
According to field information, Houthi militias targeted the camp with a ballistic missile, in a direct attack on civilians who had been forced to flee their homes to escape the armed conflict.
The targeting of gatherings of displaced persons and civilian objects constitutes a serious violation of the rules of international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention, and further compounds the suffering and tragedy endured by the affected population.
The American Center for Justice calls for these attacks to cease immediately and urges United Nations bodies and the international community to take serious steps to ensure accountability and to open independent investigations that lead to the prosecution of those responsible for these crimes and prevent them from escaping punishment.
