Saudi Arabia accused of ‘disregard’ for human life by United Nations following air strike which killed 12 in Yemen

‘A senior United Nations official in Yemen has condemned the Saudi-led air strike which killed at least 12 civilians, including children, saying it showed a complete “disregard” for human life.
Three women and six children from the same family were killed as they slept in the dawn air strike by the Saudi-led coalition opposing the Houthi rebels in the Yemeni civil war, according to Reuters.
The youngest of the children killed was just two years old, according to medical officials.
The civilians were killed and ten others wounded in the attack on their home in the Saada province, according to the UK’s humanitarian coordinator in Yemen, Jamie McGoldrick, and other aid groups.
Mr McGoldrick expressed “deep concern” about the Saudi-led action in an official statement in which he accused the coalition of violating international law.’
