SANAA, Jan 31: Air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition targeting Yemen's Shiite rebels killed over 32 people overnight, including at least eight civilians in the capital, Sanaa, officials said on Saturday.
The air strikes appeared to target a rebel camp and factories producing food and plastic in northern and western Sanaa, the security and medical officials said.
Yemen has been torn by conflict since 2014, when Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, allied with a former president captured large swaths of the country, including Sanaa, which they took in September that year. The Saudi-led coalition launched its air campaign against the rebels in March 2015. Since then, more than 5,800 people have been killed and over 80 per cent of Yemen's population is in dire need of food, water and other aid, according to the United Nations.    ?AP
