Yemen: ‘Ten children killed’ in attack on school
At least 10 children have been killed and about 30 injured in an air strike on a school in the stronghold of Yemen’s Houthi rebels, according to a medical aid group.

In the fourth case, six people including four children were killed when the coalition bombed a village house in southern Lahj province on May 25 using precision-guided munitions.
The spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Ravina Shamdasain said on Friday that violence has been escalating across Yemen as the Saudi regime has renewed its attacks on the impoverished Arab country following the breakdown of UN-backed peace talks, AP reported.
Iran-backed rebels convened Yemen’s parliament on Saturday, August 13, in defiance of the internationally recognized government, prompting condemnation from President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi. “All between 8-15 years old#Saada#Yemen”.
SPA said King Salman flew back from Tangier in Morocco to the Red Sea city of Jeddah, where the government of the world’s top oil exporter usually moves in the summer to escape the scorching heat of the capital Riyadh.
The fighting in Yemen has driven 2.8 million people from their homes and left more than 80 percent of the population needing humanitarian aid, the United Nations says. Saudi Arabia allegedly threatened to withhold funding for refugees and the Mr Ban grudgingly gave in to their demands.
Yemeni pharmacist Sadam al-Othari, who lost his son in the attack, told The New York Times, “They targeted only civilians”.
The area is far from the front lines of the fighting but is a power base for the Ansar Allah (Houthi) group.
In social media posts, it says the Monday strike hit near the Houthi rebel stronghold of Saada, in the country’s north.
The conflict began early previous year, when President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi resigned and fled to the southern city of Aden after Houthi rebels seized and consolidated their hold on Sanaa.

Saturday’s session in the rebel-held capital of Sanaa came after the Houthis appointed a political council signed by ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh’s party to run the country, and rejected a United Nations proposed peace plan.
