(MENAFN) Human Rights Watch indicted the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen of war crimes on Tuesday, explaining its air strikes killed 39 civilians with 26 children in two months.
Sarah Leah Whitson said, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, in a statement, "The Saudi-led coalition"s repeated promises to conduct its air strikes lawfully are not sparing Yemeni children from unlawful attacks."
She said, "This underscores the need for the United Nations to immediately return the coalition to its annual"list of shame"for violations against children in armed conflict."
