The United Nations Children's Fund said it was “horrified” by the latest Saudi strike on Yemen, which killed dozens of children.
“Many innocent children maimed and killed, some wearing UNICEF backpacks,” a post on the organization’s official Twitter account read after Saudi jets struck a school bus in Yemen’s northern Saada province.
The Yemeni Health Ministry reported that at least 50 civilians, mostly children, lost their lives and around 77 others were wounded in the attack.
A Saudi-led coalition, which groups a number of Arab states launched its military campaign against Yemen in March 2015. The conflict has since killed tens of thousands and left Yemen facing the worst humanitarian crisis in recent generations.
