Saudi Attacks on Schools & Hospitals So Bad, US FINALLY Condemns Them — Still Gives them Bombs
Monday’s bombing by the Saudi-led coalition of yet another Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF, Doctors Without Borders) hospital in Yemen, which killed 11 people and wounded at least 19 more, earned a rare admonition of the Saudis by the U.S. State Department.
“Of course, we condemn the attack,” State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau uncharacteristically asserted.
As per policy for all the humanitarian organization’s hospitals, MSF “repeatedly” shared the Abs Hospital’s precise GPS coordinates with all parties embroiled in the conflict — including, of course, the Saudi-led coalition.
Why the U.S. chose this particular MSF hospital bombing to step outside its usual deferral of reporters to the Saudi government to answer for egregious and deadly military blunders remains unclear.
Of course, welcome though this rebuke might be, the U.S. continues to supply the coalition with billions in weapons and supplies, as well as providing refueling for Saudi jets.
