Eighth Newsletter - Your Bulletin (20/8/2020) monitored the interaction on social media platforms about the sniping of a Yemeni girl in Taiz as a story that summarizes the suffering of Yemeni children.
Tweeters pointed the finger of accusation at the Houthi group, stressing that targeting children during conflicts is a war crime, and activists saluted the girl's brother, who rushed to her immediately after she was injured to save her from death.
The Yemeni "water girl" was slowly injured by a bullet in the head, after which she was transferred to intensive care, and is still in critical condition, after an operation on her, according to doctors.
Interactions with the Yemeni water girl varied, and activist Salman Al-Hamidi wrote, "Mostly, the Houthis grab their victims in the middle of the street, so that adults come to aid the victim, so the sniper will snipe the largest number of victims possible."
Journalist Rashad Ali Al-Sharabi said, "Intentionally targeting children, civilians, and ambulance teams is a war crime."
But the journalist Hamid Rizk had a different opinion, so he wrote in a tweet, "Not the first time, Al-Islah and the hotel mercenaries are anticipating any political or humanitarian move by committing massacres against civilians in Taiz. Last April, they bombed the women's prison and carried out a massacre to embarrass the envoy after adopting a vision that does not serve their own interests. Today they sacrifice an innocent child to cover up their misery and redirect discontent against Al-Houthi. "
The singer Raed Al-Amiri said, "Any human being, any religion, any conscience .. His hand extends to kill an innocent soul and enjoys shedding the blood of children! The picture is of a girl in Taiz who took her as a Sidon sniper who had fun emptying bullets of death on her .. This is a girl from the thousands of Yemeni children who were killed by the war .. and was assassinated Planes and missiles, their lives and their dreams. "
