MSF clinic in Yemen hit in Saudi-led air strike
2015-12-04
Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) says one of its clinics in Yemen has been hit in a Saudi-led coalition air strike. The medical charity said it told the coalition the location of the facility in the city of Taiz before Wednesday's attack, which injured nine people.

MSF's head of mission warned that the bombing of civilians and hospitals was a violation of humanitarian law.
If you were providing medical care to the innocents then you have our sympathy. We're a little skeptical given past reports of your providing medical care to odious combatants...
There has so far been no comment from the coalition, which is battling the Houthi rebel movement.

MSF said two of its staff were among those wounded when its tented clinic in the southern city's al-Houban district was hit on Wednesday morning.

"There is no way that the Saudi-led coalition could have been unaware of the presence of MSF activities in this location," said Jerome Alin, MSF's head of mission in Yemen.

"The bombing of civilians and hospitals is a violation of international humanitarian law," he added. "Civilians seeking healthcare and medical facilities must be respected."
