Report: U.S.-Backed Saudi-Led Airstrikes in Yemen May Be “War Crime”

HeadlineJul 28, 2015

In Yemen, the U.S.-backed Saudi-led coalition launched a new wave of airstrikes Monday, despite the five-day humanitarian truce that went into effect Sunday night. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch has said Friday’s Saudi-led bombings of the western port city of Mokha, which killed at least 120 people, appear to be a war crime. The continued fighting comes as Oxfam warns Yemen is facing “the highest ever recorded number of people living in hunger.”
