YEMEN: Air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition pummelling Yemen have killed 109 civilians since December 18.

That figure includes 54 people blown up at a market in Taiz province and 14 members of the same family killed on a farm in Hodeida, UN humanitarian official Jamie McGoldrick said yesterday.

The strikes, carried out using weaponry supplied by and under the supervision of Britain and the US, “prove complete disregard for human life that all parties … continue to show in this absurd war,” said Mr McGoldrick.
