After
killing at least 18 people in two separate airstrikes over the past
three days, the Saudi coalition killed at least 17 more civilians
Tuesday, most of them women and children, in two airstrikes on a
family home in the east of the capital Sanaa.
Health
officials in Sanaa confirmed that 17 bodies had been taken to local
hospitals after the airstrikes on a village in Nehem District,
northeast of the capital, the New York Times reported Tuesday, while
Reuters said earlier in the day that at least nine people had been
killed.
The deadly
attack took place in the village of Al Madeed against the family
house of Shayef Muhsin Asem, who lived in the house but was out at
the time of the attack. He told the New York Times that “after the
house was bombed, family members rushed in to try to rescue survivors
when a second airstrike hit.”
The attack
comes just a day after the Saudi-led coalition attacked a Doctors
Without Border-run hospital in Yemen's northern Hajja province,
killing at least 11 people and wounding 13.
The attack
on the hospital came after Saudi planes attacked a school in Saada
province Saturday, killing 10 children.
