Eight members of the same family, including women and children, were killed Wednesday in a Saudi airstrike on Nehm district of Sana’a province.

A local official stated that the Saudi-led warplanes targeted Ahmed Abu Alhan’s car in Daboa’h area in Nehm district, killing Abu Alhan and his family members.

Yemen has been under airstrikes by Saudi Arabia since March 26 of last year. The Saudi strikes have been meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power.

Nearly 8,280 people, among them 2,236 children, have reportedly been killed and over 16,000 others injured. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
