Phoso: Her brother,a child himself pulled his sister away risking his own life to save her. 100s of civilians,mostly women & children,were shot dead by Houthi snipers since 2015. How we know it’s Houthis? Bcz they control hills around neighborhoods where sniper attacks happen 2/2 pic.twitter.com/OkNlFtw6oJ
