Saudi Arabia Bombs MSF Clinic in Yemen
Local Editor
Coalition aggression forces led by Saudi Arabia bombed a medical facility in Yemen, critically injuring at least two people in the south of the war riven country.
Medecins Sans Frontieres [MSF] cited local sources reporting that a mobile clinic in the village of al-Khashabeh, al-Houban area, was hit by air strikes on Wednesday afternoon. In total seven people were injured.
Although there were few details that staff had been forced to evacuate the area, Yemen is becoming increasingly dangerous for aid workers.
The air strike followed the kidnapping of two International Committee of the Red Cross workers as they drove to work in the capital Sanaa.
The committee confirmed that one of the workers, a Yemeni man, was released, however a Tunisian woman was still being held by the as-yet-unknown abductors.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni scene grows more complicated with the presence of AQAP [al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula] who, alongside a growing "ISIS" presence, have capitalized on the chaos in the south of the country.
Earlier in October, an MSF facility in the Afghani city of Kunduz was bombed by American forces. The strikes, which went on for hours before the alarm was raised, killed 30 and totaled the only surgical hospital in the remote region.
