14 killed in Saudi-led airstrikes on refugee camp in Yemen

SANAA – At least 14 people were killed when Saudi-led coalition airstrikes hit a camp of internally displaced people (IDPs) in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah on Monday, medics and a security official said. 
Nine others were wounded in the air attacks that struck the camp in Hali district, they added. 
The local officials expected an increase in the death toll due to fatal injuries. 
The targeted victims included women and children. 

It was the latest in a series of airstrikes by the U.S.-backed Saudi-led coalition air force since the start of the war in Yemen three years ago. 

Last week, the coalition warplanes hit a popular market in Yemen's northern province of Saada, killing eight civilians, mostly women, according to local officials. 
On March 8, the coalition airstrikes hit a farm and a popular market in Hodeidah, also killing eight, local officials and residents said. 

The coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in March 2015 to roll back the Iranian-allied Shiite Houthi rebels and support the internationally-recognized President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi. 
The war has killed more than 10,000 Yemenis, mostly civilians and displaced 3 million others, triggering one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Enditem
