Crimes
At least 20
people were killed and 15 others wounded when the Saudi-led warplanes
attacked a hospital operated by the humanitarian association Doctors
Without Borders (MSF) in Yemen's northwest province of Hajja on
Monday, a MSF spokeswoman and an eyewitness told Xinhua.
"It
is confirmed that a Saudi-led airstrike today hit a hospital run by
MSF team since July 2015 in Abbs district," MSF spokeswoman
Malak Shahir told Xinhua. She said the doctor team is busy treating
the injured.
An
eyewitness told Xinhua that the airstrike destroyed a part of the
hospital, but the hospital is still being operated by the MSF
doctors. He told Xinhua on condition of anonymity that a Spanish
female doctor survived the airstrike and she is now treating the
injured.
It's not the
first time MSF-run hospitals were hit by the Saudi-led warplanes. A
few months ago, two MSF-run hospitals in neighboring Saada province
were hit by several airstrikes, as the Saudi-led military coalition
admitted its mistakes.
