MSF clinic hit in Yemen’s Saudi-led coalition air strike

PanARMENIAN.Net - Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) says one of its clinics in Yemen has been hit in a Saudi-led coalition air strike, according to BBC News.

The medical charity said it told the coalition the location of the facility in the city of Taiz before Wednesday, December 3's attack, which injured nine people.

MSF's head of mission warned that the bombing of civilians and hospitals was a violation of humanitarian law.

There has so far been no comment from the coalition, which is battling the Houthi rebel movement.

Air strikes and fighting on the ground in Yemen have killed more than 5,700 people, almost half of them civilians, since the coalition began a military campaign to restore the country's government in late March, according to the UN.

The already dire humanitarian situation has also deteriorated severely, with more than 21 million people - four-fifths of the population - now requiring aid.
