#Yemen:
We confirm that 33+ civilians were killed, 25 injured in a hotel
airstrike by Coalition Forces on Aug 23. In all these cases, witnesses
said that there had been no warnings that an attack was imminent.


In the week from 17 to 24 August, 58 civilians have been killed,
including 42 by the Saudi-led Coalition. Unknown armed men killed 12
civilians and the Popular Committees affiliated with the Houthis killed
four civilians. This week’s total is more than the number of civilians
killed in the whole of June, when 52 were killed and in July, which saw
57 civilian deaths.

All parties to the conflict must respect intl
humanitarian law. Attacks targeting civilians are prohibited. We call
on authorities to carry out credible, impartial investigations. See our
