A Saudi coalition airstrike on a prison killed<\/a> at least 60 people and wounded at least 100 more in northern Yemen as part of the coalition\u2019s reprisal attacks after the Houthis claimed drone and missile attacks that hit targets in Abu Dhabi earlier this week:<\/p>\n

At least three children are among the dozens of people killed Friday, the humanitarian organization Save the Children said in a statement on Twitter. It noted that \u201cthe true number is feared to be higher.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

This follows coalition airstrikes in Sanaa that killed at least 20 civilians. The coalition response to the Abu Dhabi attacks has been consistent with the way they have waged the war from the beginning: reckless and indiscriminate bombing that slaughters civilians. The AP reports<\/a> on the aftermath of the bombing:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initial casualties report from Saada is horrifying,\u201d said Gillian Moyes, Save the Children\u2019s country director in Yemen. \u201cMigrants seeking better lives for themselves and their families, Yemeni civilians injured by the dozens, is a picture we never hoped to wake up to in Yemen.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Of course, this is a picture that we keep waking up to over and over because the coalition governments are never held accountable and pay no penalty for their outrages. They still receive U.S. support and weapons, and they evidently have no need to worry that relations with the US will worsen if they keep pummeling Yemen with U.S.-made weapons. Once again, the people of Yemen are made to suffer as the coalition lashes out blindly. There were also reports yesterday and today that a coalition airstrike<\/a> in Hodeidah had knocked<\/a> out Internet service throughout the country, which has cut off Yemenis outside the country from contact with their friends and relatives.<\/p>\n
