Scores of displaced civilians killed in ‘Saudi-led coalition’ airstrike in Yemen’s Taiz

‘A ‘Saudi-led coalition’ airstrike hit a group of displaced Yemenis, killing at least 20 people, mostly from the same family in Taiz, a UN statement and witnesses said on Wednesday.
The attack on Tuesday afternoon hit the group of civilians in the Mawza district of the southwestern province of Taiz.
Residents said the attack was carried out by a warplane from the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in support of Yemen’s internationally recognised government.
The UNHCR said it was “deeply shocked and saddened at reports of the deaths and injuries of a number of internally displaced persons in an aerial attack” on the area.
The statement said the civilians had fled fighting in the nearby Mokha district, on the Red Sea coast.’
