Yemen: At least 120 dead as Saudi-led jets strike Taiz

At least 120 people were killed and over 150 were injured when Saudi-led coalition airstrikes targeted Taiz on Friday night and into Saturday morning. Footage shot at around 03.00 local time (00.00 GMT) shows residents searching for bodies and survivors in a bid to get them transported to hospital. Residents continued to search for survivors buried in rubble beyond the morning, but according to some locals, mainly bodies burnt beyond recognition are being recovered. Emergency services reported that they struggled to reach the site, as their route also came under fire by the warplanes. Hours earlier the Saudi-led campaign also targeted several other areas including the province of Bayda, the Amran Province, as well as the province of Lahij. According to the most recent UN figures 1,693 civilians have been killed and 3,829 have been injured since the coalition airstrikes against Yemen began in March.
