White Phosphorus Use Alleged in Sa’ada War, Yemen
Among all the charges and counter-charges related to the last week of bloody fighting between the Yemeni military and the Houthis rebels is the allegation of the military’s use of White Phoshorus against the civilian population. Allegations have been made since 2005 that the military deployed two types of chemicals in the war- a gas and another that clung to and burned the skin. Among the many photos in my inbox of dead people, body parts, bloody kids and corpses are two that may be relevent to the topic.
