US military aircraft bombed a reservoir in the Mansouriya district of Al-Hodeidah Governorate in western Yemen, cutting off water to more than 50,000 people, Al-Masirah TV reported on 2 April.

“As a result of enemy attacks on the Al-Senif water reservoir and the Water Resources Administration building in the Mansouriya area, more than 50,000 citizens were left without water supplies,” the Yemeni channel stated.

Renewed US bombing of Yemen is compounding an already dire situation made worse after US President Donald Trump cut US humanitarian aid to the country.

That would be a war crime right there.

Maybe it would be better to make Israel the 51st state of the US, not Canada?

And support their genocide efforts even more?
