Alwaght- The United Nations has said the reported airstrikes in Yemen by Saudi regime warplanes in which at least 12 civilians were killed, including children, is an example of the "disregard" for civilians' safety.
Twelve civilians were killed and 10 others wounded in Sa'ada province after attacks on a house and a private vehicle, the UN's Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen Jamie McGoldrick said, citing reports from fellow aid groups.
On Friday three women and six children from the same family were killed in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition on their home in the area, according to a local health official.
The new incidents were an example of the "brutality" of the conflict, McGoldrick said in the statement in which he expressed deep concern.
The UN official added that the latest incident of Saudi brutality is being investigated by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
A Saudi-led coalition started an illegal aggression on Yemen in March 2015 to oust the popular Ansarullah movement and restore to power fugitive Abdul Rabbuh Mansour Hadi who resigned as president and fled to Riyadh. The Saudis have failed to achieve their stated objective and are now stuck in the Yemen quagmire while indiscriminately bombarding the impoverished stated on an almost daily basis.
The Saudi war on Yemen, one of the world's most impoverished countries, has killed nearly 14,000 people and left tens of thousands wounded while displacing millions.
According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, more than three million people have fled their homes since the onset of the conflict, and more than 20 million throughout the country are in need of humanitarian assistance.
The Saudi-led coalition has imposed a sea and air blockade in many areas controlled by Ansarullah movement including the capital Sanaa, allowing in only limited UN-supervised deliveries of basic goods.
Meanwhile, over one million Yemeni children are at risk of dying from cholera due to a Saudi-led aggression and blockade against the impoverished Arab state.
According to Save the Children charity group, since the outbreak began three months ago, there have been 1,900 deaths and 440,000 cases.
