The airstrike hit ABS Hospital in Yemen’s northern Hajjah Province, where three Yemeni staff members of Doctors without Borders were among the dead, said the hospital director, Ibrahim Aram, who was reached by telephone. 

Aram addedthat three foreign doctors at the hospital were also wounded, and that three other staff members had limbs amputated.

The bombing came two days after Saudi airstrikes killed at least 19 people, mostly children, in a residential area and a school in northern Yemen.
