On Sunday, Human Rights Watch reported <\/a><\/strong><\/span>that Saudi Arabia is dropping cluster bombs supplied by the United States in the relentless onslaught on Yemen. These horrific weapons \u2014 which not only unleash mass death on first use but leave unexploded bombs that can kill for months or years afterward \u2014 have been banned by 116 nations. The United States has not signed the convention against cluster bombs, but has greatly restricted their use. However, a loophole left in US law allows the Pentagon\u2019s favorite war profiteers to sell cluster bombs abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n The Saudis are dropping the cluster bombs near villages, HRW reports. But the Saudis \u2014 and their ally, the United States, which is supplying weapons, logistics and intelligence support to the act of aggression \u2014 have already shown they are unconcerned about civilian casualties in the conflict. More than 1,000 people have died in 2,300 airstrikes launched by the Saudis and their allies. According to best estimates, hundreds of civilians have been killed. Millions of civilians are now at dire risk, due to a brutal blockade imposed by the Saudis and the Americans. Yemen imports 90 percent of its food. It is now running out of food, medical supplies and fuel. People are dying from the deprivation.<\/span><\/p>\n
