The Saudi airstrikes against Yemen, which started in late March, have so far killed over 140 people, including at least 62 children.

Saudi Arabia’s air campaign in Yemen started on March 26 in a bid to restore to power fugitive former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
