“Due to many casualties from the coalition-led wedding attacks, field hospitals were made near the site of the attacks giving injured civilians medical treatment in order to save lives,” said Abdul Hakim Alkhulani, a spokesman for the Houthi-held Health Ministry, according to CNN .
“Tens have been killed and the final toll for victims is still not clear. The United Nations have proven that it has no influence to force coalition forces to end massacres against civilians,” Alkhulani added.
The ongoing war between the Saudi-led coalition and Iran-supported Houthi rebels in Yemen has been described by international observers as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Since 2014, more than 10,000 civilians have been killed and roughly 3 million people have been displaced because of the fighting. Millions more are at risk of death by starvation and disease due to the coalition’s blockade of major Yemeni ports.
Humanitarian groups have accused Saudi Arabia of war crimes for deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure. The Saudi-led coalition, on the other hand, blames the Houthis for civilian deaths, saying they are using women and children as human shields.
