The United Nations says the death toll from Tuesday’s airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen has risen to 119. The United Nations children’s agency UNHCR said Thursday 22 children are among the dead, while 47 people remain injured.
“We strongly deplore the deadliest attack in Al-Khamees market in Mastaba district of Hajja governorate,” the agency said in a statement.
Tuesday’s airstrike on the market northwest of the capital, Sanaa, was the latest in a series of similar bombings by the coalition that have left hundreds of civilians dead.
