Hospital Bombing in Yemen

In mid-March 2025, U.S. airstrikes hit a cancer hospital under construction in Saada, Yemen, reportedly killing at least 32 people, including women and children. The facility, funded by local donors and meant to serve cancer patients in a war-torn region, was bombed twice in one week, sparking international condemnation and worsening the humanitarian crisis.

The strikes were part of a broader U.S. offensive against Houthi rebels, following their threats to Red Sea shipping and support for Palestinians in Gaza. While U.S. officials claimed the site was being used for military purposes, rights groups allege it was a civilian project, and accuse Washington of violating international law.
