Seven dead in airstrike on Yemen hospital : Save the Children

Aden: A hospital in a rural area of northwest Yemen was hit by an airstrike killing seven people and wounding eight others, Save the Children said.

The international aid organisation, which supports the hospital, said in a statement that four of those killed on Tuesday morning were children and two adults are unaccounted for.

The NGO, Save The Children said that a missile struck a petrol station near the entrance to Ritaf rural hospital, about 100 kilometres from the city of Saada, reported BBC.

“The missile was said to have landed within 50 metres of the facility’s main building,” it said.

According to the organisation, the hospital had been open for half an hour and many patients and staff were arriving on a busy morning.
