As many as 36 people have been killed after a Saudi-led coalition air strike in the Hajjah province in Yemen, according to the latest reports.
The strike hit a bottling plant in the province, with witnesses reporting corpses were left “burnt or in pieces”. Most of the dead are civilians.
The latest strike comes after another air strike killed at least 65 civilians, including 10 children, at a milk factory in Taiz. Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) confirmed the attack took place.
According to United Nations figures almost 4,500 people have been killed in the violence since the Saudi-led coalition campaign began in March of this year. The campaign had come under much criticism from human rights organisations, with Amnesty International saying it had left a "bloody trail of civilian death" earlier this month.
