Some of these people, who were seriously injured, were sent to hospitals in Sana’a and others are receiving treatment in Hodeida’s hospitals.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni authorities are considering contacting with the Saudi Authorities to find facts about the incident.

It was alleged that about 25 Yemenis were burnt when the Saudi police poured diesel into a hall they hid in and set fire to it.

The Yemenis dug a hall underground as a resort in case of being discovered and after that they went on trying to cross the border with Saudi Arabia.

They thought they were safe but were surprised when the police poured diesel and set fire in the hall.

Many Yemenis usually try to cross the borders with Yemen’s neighbor Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to escape bad economic conditions and seeking livelihoods in the rich-oil country.
