43 people killed in an airstrike which hit a bus carrying children in northern Yemen.
The International Committee of the Red Cross tweeted that an ICRC-supported hospital received many dead and wounded bodies after the strike on a market by an airstrike in Dahyan, Saada, Yemen.The attack has been blamed on the Saudi-led coalition waging war against Yemen's Houthi rebels.
Saudi Arabia and Arab allies have been fighting in Yemen for more than three years against the Iran-backed Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen including the capital Sanaa and drove a Saudi-backed government into exile in 2014.
The UK and US have been criticised for providing logistical and military support to the Saudi-led coalition. The ICRC said in its tweet: "Under international humanitarian law, civilians must be protected during conflict."
