Saudi-led coalition attack kills 20 near Yemen’s Taiz

Al Jazeera  

UN ‘deeply disappointed’ by attack that killed at least 20 civilians who had fled fighting in country’s southwest. At least 20 civilians, including women and children from the same family, have been killed in a Saudi-led coalition air attack in southwest Yemen, according to the United Nations and witnesses. Yemen’s human rights minister, Mohammed Askar, on Tuesday called for a government investigation into what he described as an “unfortunate incident”, while Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam condemned the attack as a “monstrous crime”. “This latest incident once again demonstrates the extreme dangers facing civilians in Yemen, particularly those attempting to flee violence, as they disproportionately bear the brunt of conflict,” UNHCR said. Tuesday’s attack was the latest in a series of coalition bombings that have hit schools, hospitals, markets and private homes across northern Yemen.
