HODEIDA: DOZENS KILLED IN SAUDI AIR STRIKES ON HOSPITAL AND MARKET
Air strikes conducted by the Saudi-led coalition have hit a hospital's entrance, fishing port and fish market in the Yemeni city of Hodeida.
A source at Hodeida's health office said that 55 people were killed in the strikes, with more than 100 wounded. Both figures are likely to rise as the situation becomes clearer.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Twitter it was sending medical equipment to al-Thawra Hospital to treat those in critical condition following the attack.
Despite the Saudi-led coalition being the only air force operating in the area it failed to claim responsibility as usual and casted the blame on Yemenis, accusing them of targeting the civilians with ballistic missiles, but residents in the city reported they heard the buzzing of warplanes.
Meanwhile, the United Nations said it will invite the parties involved in Yemen’s conflict for talks on 6 September.
