UN says Saudi attack on Sana’a left dozens of Yemenis killed or wounded

The United Nations expressed in a tweet on Wednesday that dozens of Yemenis were killed or injured in the capital Sana’a following a Saudi-led coalition attack on the Presidential Office while the city was busiest.
“Dozens of killed and injured in Sana’a, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs,” the tweet read.

Photos of the casualties have been circulating on social media by a number of activists, including an image of the “scale boy” who used his scale for living and was killed in the US-backed Saudi attack on the Presidential Office.

UN tweet goes as follows:

#اليمن: عشرات القتلى والمصابين في #صنعاء وفقا لمكتب الأمم المتحدة لتنسيق الشؤون الإنسانية

In the same context, the Yemeni Health Ministry reported the death of 6 civilians and the injury of an additional 90 in the massacre.

The Saudi-led coalition tends to use the excuse of “targeting top figures” when striking such populated regions, whereas a similar event occurred in Hajjah Governorate, where a wedding was bluntly bombed.
