Air strike hits hospital in Yemen
SANAA, Yemen — An air strike hit a hospital supported by Doctors Without Borders in northern Yemen on Monday, the international humanitarian group said, killing 11 people and wounding at least 19 others.
The conflict in Yemen pits an internationally recognized government backed by a Saudi-led coalition against the Shiite Houthi rebels, who captured the capital, Sanaa, in September 2014.
Teresa Sancristoval, MSF emergency program manager for Yemen, said it was the fourth attack on an MSF-supported medical facility in Yemen in the past 12 months.
Earlier this month, the coalition acknowledged that it had committed “unintended bombings” that caused civilian casualties during its nearly 18-month air campaign, blaming U.N. agencies for not coordinating with it.
