UN slams 'neglect' of civilians after Yemen ✈strike

A top UN official in Yemen said reported Saudi-led air strikes, in which at least 12 civilians including children were killed, were an example of the "disregard" for civilians' safety shown by all sides in Yemen's civil war.

Yemen has been torn apart by a civil war in which the exiled government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, is trying to push back gains made by Houthi rebels and their allies, who control most of the north, including the capital Sanaa.

Saada, a Houthi stronghold, has been repeatedly hit by air strikes since the Saudi-led coalition of Arab states joined the war in March 2015.
