Thousands of people gathered in Yemen's Saada on Monday to attend the funeral of over 50 people, many of them children, who lost their lives in a Saudi airstrike. Most of the children were aged between 10 and 13. They were returning from a trip when their bus was hit last Thusrsday. The UN chief has condemned the airstrike and the Security Council has called for a credible and transparent investigation into the attack. Images from the site show fragments that seem to be from the MK-82 bomb, which the US still sells to Saudi Arabia.
