Saudi led coalition strick hit hospital in Yemen.

An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition
hit a hospital in central Yemen on
Monday, a state news agency reported.
The alleged incident comes a day after
Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said
a missile killed four people at
one of
its clinics in the country.
The clinic which came under fire is in
the Swadi district of Yemen’s southern
Bayda province, according to Saba
news agency.
The news agency is run by the Houthi
movement, which seized the Yemeni
capital Sana’a last year and is being
targeted by the Saudi-led
bombardment.
An official from the exiled Yemeni
government in the southern port of
Aden confirmed to Reuters that the
clinic was hit.
However, he stressed that the facility,
which according to the official was
used by Houthi fighters as a base, was
only damaged, and not destroyed.
Several Houthi militiamen were killed
in the airstrike, the unnamed official
added.
Medical facilities have come under fire
on several occasions during the
Yemeni conflict.
On Sunday, Medecins Sans Frontieres
said a “ projectile ” hit a hospital in
Yemen’s far northern province of
Saada.
Five people were killed according to
the NGO, which stressed it was not
clear who was responsible for the
attack.
Last week, a center for the blind in
Sana’a was hit in an airstrike
reportedly carried out by the Saudi-led
coalition.
The coalition was also blamed for
hitting a Medecins Sans Frontieres
hospital in the Yemeni capital in
December.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called
for an international inquiry into the
alleged use of cluster munitions by
Saudi Arabian warplanes, describing
the development as a war crime.
