DHAMAR, Yemen - Yemeni rescue workers searched for bodies amid concrete debris and twisted steel wreckage on Monday, two days after air strikes by a Saudi-led military coalition hit a prison complex killing more than 100 people.
“I was next to the window when I heard the warplanes and then the bombing. I passed out and when I woke, the window and the wall were above my back,” said Assem Mohammed Ismail, one of the survivors treated in a hospital ward in Dhamar.The final death toll is still unknown, but the International Committee of the Red Cross in Yemen said on Sunday after visiting the complex and hospitals that over 100 had been killed.
Over the last four years, the Saudi-led coalition has come under heavy criticism from international rights groups following air strikes that have killed scores of civilians in residential areas, and at markets, funerals and weddings.The Yemen Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said 52 detainees were among the dead, adding at least 68 detainees were still missing.
