UN calls for inquiry into fatal fire at Yemen detention facility

Dozens of Ethiopian migrants died after Houthi rebels fired missiles into the centre in the capital Sana'a

The UN has called for an independent inquiry into a horrific fire at a detention facility in Yemen's capital Sana'a that left dozens of Ethiopian migrants dead and more than 170 injured.

Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday that the fire on 7 March occurred after Houthi rebels fired missiles into the detention centre where the migrants were protesting over their cramped conditions.
