This time last year Ramadan was full of appeals for the victims of the Gaza massacre. A year on the bombing of Yemen sees no sign of ending. Strangely though we British Muslims are silent at the killings.

According to reports warplanes have not stopped their bombing campaign of Yemeni rebels despite a 6-day truce declared by the UN. This was a truce that came into force last Friday and was meant to last until the end of Ramadan.

Recently, an airstrike targeting Yemen's Shiite rebels struck a poor residential area in the capital of Sanaa, killing 25 civilians and wounding at least 50.

The strike hit the slums of the Sawan neighborhood in eastern Sanaa early in the morning, said the rebels, known as Houthis.

At least 142 civilians have been killed in the country over the past 10 days of Ramadan, bringing the civilian death toll to 1,670 and 3,829 injured. And 1.27 million Yemenis are now displaced within their own country.

The Saudi-led coalition launched the airstrikes campaign in March against the Iranaian backed Houthis, who seized Sanaa and other parts of the country.

Some people may be quick to state that one war cannot be compared with another. I can sense some people saying 'Yes, but you have to condemn the killings on both sides'. Now, where have I heard that before.

Last year’s Gaza onslaught was a little different in that the aggressor was Israel. Is this war more complex than that because we don’t entirely understand it?

That may well be the case but how strange that 27 days of Ramadan have passed and I have yet to see one major appeal to help Yemeni civilians.

Where are the constant WhatsApp messages calling for a halting to the killings? Where are the charity dinners and Facebook messages asking for the world to condemn civilian deaths?

Where are the mosque appeals and people stood out on the streets with buckets asking for money?

Those people who tend to become a little more socially ‘active’ during the month of Ramadan are silent.

The charity appeals have aimed to highlight the killings in Burma but this war in Yemen is as brutal would you not say?

We have Muslims killing other Muslims during the month of Ramadan. Or is it far easier to raise some money for Palestine because we are, let us be honest, likely to get the money without any questions being asked.

Does Yemen deserve to be bombed? What makes a Saudi airstrike on Yemen that kills civilians any different from one that killed others elsewhere?

Quite clearly the aggressors here are the Saudi Arabians. A Saudi regime which is theologically supported by some British Muslims so to criticise them would ‘simply not be correct.’ You might even say you are unlikely to have a sermon in some mosques asking for donations for the civilians of Yemen because the imams simply would not allow it.

We are quite quick to point out issues where Muslims are killed anywhere on the planet but not so elsewhere.

Civilians deaths deserve to be highlighted – regardless of who the aggressor is.
