Over 18,000 Yemeni civilians killed by Saudi-led forces since invasion began

At least 18,000 Yemeni civilians have been killed or injured in airstrikes since the Saudi coalition invaded Yemen in 2015, a UN committee said recently in a report.

According to the Russia Today Arabic website, in a report to the Human Rights Council, UN-appointed experts said that the Yemenis have been subjected to about 10 airstrikes a day, or more than 23,000 in total since March 2015.

The Saudi-led coalition, with US support, entered the war in March 2015, using airstrikes as one of their most common mode of warfare.
