UN agency 'saddened' as airstrikes kill civilians
The United Nations refugee agency said it was "deeply saddened" by the targeting of civilians in recent airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition last week, which left at least six dead including four children, in Yemen's capital of Sana'a.
The UN agency issued a statement quoting its spokesman Andrej Mahecic as saying that refugees were among those injured in last Thursday's attacks, including a Somali woman and her daughter who were receiving "critical" medical treatment.
