\u201cI also thought at first that Mohamed, my two-year-old grandson, was also killed \u2013 but when we took him from Fatim\u2019s arms, he cried. He was sleeping all the time in his dead mother\u2019s arms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe child was slightly injured in the hand by a bullet that hit and left his mother\u2019s body. Such a scene no one could imagine nor comprehend \u2013 this level of criminality and killing.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fatim was not the only victim: 14 other members of her family died alongside her that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The murder of Fatim left seven children motherless \u2013 including Mohamed. Fatim\u2019s mother not only lost a daughter but her autumn years too. It became her job to support Fatim\u2019s seven children while dealing with her own trauma and grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fatim and the other women in the village of Ghayil in the Yakla region of Yemen didn\u2019t have an easy life. But the US attack on their village four years ago amplified the injustice they suffer and the struggles they face every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fatim and her family were no threat to the US or its citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Client](\"https:\/\/reprieve.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/ClientPhoto_MotherOfFatimSalehMohsenAlAmeri.jpg\")
