Mr, Haad added that when the attack started, he went to the wall next to the Sahafi Hotel, where after five hours they rescued him from the Harammad army and he thanked them very much.
Mr, Haad said, “I was inside the hotel for 5 hours. I entered the wall between the Sahafi Hotel and Hayat. The people have run out of, and the hotel has not received the necessary assistance from the government.”
