Yemeni children have rallied outside the UN building in the capital Sana’a, marking the first anniversary of the death of 10 children in a Saudi airstrike.  

As many as 28 others were also injured after the airstrike hit their school in Juma’at Bin Fadel Village in Sa’ada last August. Images flooded social media afterwards, showing rows of small bodies laid alongside one another.

The incident was corroborated by Doctors Without Borders but Riyadh claimed it had targeted a training camp used by Yemen’s Army.

More than 12,000 people have been killed since the onset of the invasion and much of the country’s infrastructure has been ravaged in Saudi airstrikes.
