L.A. Times: At least 150,000 displaced by fighting in Yemen, U.N. reports
Amid punishing hardships on the ground, at least 150,000 people have been displaced by the conflict raging in Yemen, the United Nations said Friday, and the death toll – almost certainly underreported – has surpassed 750.
Dozens of schools, mosques, hospitals, airports, bridges and factories have been hit in a concerted Saudi Arabia-led campaign of bombardment that is now in its fourth week, the U.N. said.
The Sunni Muslim kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the support of Washington, has taken aim at Iran-backed Shiite Muslim rebels known as Houthis. The insurgents last month drove the country’s internationally recognized president, Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, into exile.
