VOA: UN: Civilian Casualties Mount in Yemen

The United Nations says civilian casualties have mounted since the start of the Saudi-led bombing campaign against Shi'ite Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The U.N. said on Friday the civilian death toll since the bombing started late last month is estimated at 551. The U.N. children's agency, UNICEF, says at least 115 children were among the dead.

The airstrikes continued on Friday, three days after Saudi Arabia declared an end to the bombing campaign.
