Yemen: Civilian casualties mount following latest Saudi-led airstrikes *GRAPHIC*

A large number of civilians, many of whom were children, were killed or left badly injured when Saudi-led airstrikes targeted parts of the Amran province, north of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, Sunday. The Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes in Sanaa since March 26. The Saudi Arabian government says it is carrying out the attacks against the Houthi militias, who are in control of the capital, with the aim of reinstating the government of President Hadi, who fled to Saudi Arabia at the beginning of the conflict. The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Friday that at least 643 people have died so far, but it is feared that the actual figure is much higher. Over 2,000 people have also been injured and it is estimated that tens of thousands have been displaced as a result of the worsening conflict.
