Rights group: Saudi-led airstrikes kill Yemeni children

Published on: 

An international rights group says the Saudi-led coalition waging an air campaign against Yemen’s Houthi rebels in the north are killing children in what amounts to war crimes.

Human Rights Watch released a study today documenting the deaths of 26 children killed in five airstrikes since June.

The group said that despite promises by the coalition to abide by international law, the airstrikes have failed to do that and urged the United Nations to again place the coalition on its “list of shame.”
