The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says 40 children were among 51 civilians recently killed during a Saudi airstrike on a school bus in northwestern Yemen.

In a new toll on Tuesday, the ICRC said that 56 children were also among the 79 people wounded in Thursday’s strike on Sa’ada Province, one of the deadliest attacks on civilians in the three-year-old Saudi-led war.

The children were returning from a trip organized by a religious seminary when the bus came under attack.

The UN has said that there is no justification for Saudi Arabia’s latest massacre in Yemen which claimed the lives of scores of civilians, mostly of whom were children.
