Meqdad Toiaman’s father was killed in a drone strike in Marib governorate in 2011. His death was a big blow to the family, both emotionally and economically. Toiaman, 18, found himself in a peculiar situation, suddenly having to bear the burden of financial responsibilities.
Although the attack took place three years ago, the psychological damage it fraught on Toiaman and his family exceeds their personal loss.
“Once my little brother hears the drones or even the airplanes hovering, he keeps shouting and flees to hide behind the water tank. Even my mother was unable to inhibit her worry and fears that the upcoming strike may claim our lives,” he recalls.
