A Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) hospital in Yemen was hit by a series of Saudi-led airstrikes on Monday night, the organisation tweeted Tuesday morning.
MSF reported that patients and staff were inside the facility when the bombing took place. At least one person was injured and is in stable condition.
MSF spokesman Hassan Boucenine stated the attacks on the hospital in the Yemeni governorate of Saada “must have been deliberate,” as it was only two weeks ago that the group provided the coordinates for their Saada location to the Saudi-led coalition.
“We give GPS positions, all the positions, of our hospital to the coalition head and we renew them every month,” he said, adding that “the latest one was done two week [sic] ago.”
Boucenine said it is inconceivable that the military didn’t “know it [was] an MSF hospital.” The spokesman went on to add that “There is no reason – ever – to commit a war crime. To target a hospital. There cannot be any good reason.”
The attack comes less than one month after a Doctors Without Borders facility located in Kunduz, northern Afghanistan was attacked by a U.S. military airstrike. At least 30 people were killed.
The airstrikes also mark the one-week anniversary of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announcing it approved an $11.25 billion deal to sell combat ships to Saudi Arabia.

Yemen is one of three middle east nations in negotiation for membership into the Gulf regional government (GCC) organization formed in 2011, currently comprised of six nations to include Saudi Arabia which initiated the GCC, clearly at the behest of the global elite. The GCC, using global governance language, is a plan for harmonization of laws and cultural practices, and eventual use of a common currency (analogous to the Euro).
The conflict in Yemen must be far more than a petulant skirmish, likely there are several layers of psy ops. While we read about small scale dramas and cartoonish geopolitics, tectonic moves are occurring beneath the surface and the middle east is much further along in the globalism technotronic prison planet paradigm than we are being told.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, et al are installing Smart Grid technology and signing onto UN “sustainable” mandates, going so far in the last few years to classify Dubai and Riyadh-ITCC-complex as “Smart Cities”, Qatar as a “Smart Country”, and the GCC regional government is transforming into a “Smart Society”.
Iran recently pledged to join the UN 2030 Agenda, despite the fact that the UN plan calls for the phasing out of oil dependence, Iran’s primary revenue source, with a target date only 15 years away.
According to a 2009(!) Forbes article, at a UN “greenhouse gas talk” in Bangkok, the Saudis asked the UN elites for assurances of financial assistance when the global elite make their move to sharply restrict the use of global oil consumption – again citing the target date of 2030.
