A video has shown residents in Yemen’s Hodeidah inspecting the aftermath of a Houthi mortar attack on a hospital and fish market last Thursday.
A Red Cross statement denouncing the "reprehensible" disregard for human life said 55 civilians were killed and 170 injured "when a series of explosions rocked densely populated districts of the coastal city, including a fish market and the area around Al-Thawra Hospital."

The Arab Coalition for the Support of Legitimacy in Yemen accused the Houthi militias of carrying out the attacks.
Spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki, said the coalition has developed many rules of engagement because of the nature of military operations. “We apply the highest international standards in targeting operations in Yemen,” he said.
