Yemeni women live tragic situations

Fatima Bahloul, 50-year-old, was stunned when she came from the market she went to buy some of her daughter's preparations for her wedding. As soon as Fatima approached the outskirts of her farm, where she, her husband, her daughter and two children live in, she found the people of farms and villages nearby, together and the smoke of the fire covered the place. She rushed to her sons trying to enter her burning farm and people around her holding her.

They have never been extremists except that they have abandoned the bulk of their farm for the Houthi group, to be a stronghold and storehouses for their weapons and equipment. The aircraft attacked them with three missiles that dispersed in the corners of the farm, leaving her husband and sons killed.

Fatima, who was a queen in her property, became a homeless woman. She shouted with a loud voice: "Where are Muhammad and Omar and their bride, Zahra?" Where did they go and leave me naked?

The mother's mind did not understand that her children were burned and their bodies were swamped to be their grove and their last resting place. I approached her so that I could take her to one of the hospitals to treat the rest of her body that had been destroyed by the sun and wind on the ruins of her lost orchard. "I will not leave my house and I will wait for my sons and their father, they went to sell the mango crop and they will return," the mother said.

I was stopped by Abdulrahman, a resident of the village of "al-Tarba" belonging to the Directorate of Al-Duha in the province of Hodeidah, who lives near the farm of Fatima. He told me that they are trying for nearly 70 days to persuade her to return to her village, but they failed.

Many human and painful stories take place every day, and the consciences of local authorities do not move, despite the many and varied appeals made in the various media, that they should be merciful to women and children and leave the simple and the poor in this unjust war.
