‘Nothing left to bomb’: Yemen’s civilians bear brunt of US airstrikes on Houthis

Analysts say US and Israeli attacks failed to weaken rebels and are only pushing the country to the brink of famine

Late last month, a suspected US airstrike levelled four homes on the fringes of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, killing at least 11 people. A video posted by an eyewitness shows a frightened man carrying a young child on his back as they run through the darkness, warning people away, before the roar of a jet and the white flash of a blast.

Local people quickly circulated notifications of funerals for the many killed in the airstrike on the outlying Thaqban neighbourhood, listing the whole families that had died in an instant.
