SANAA, Yemen — Yemeni tribal and rebel officials said Saudi-led coalition airstrikes killed at least 17 people Monday, including children, in the southwestern city of Taiz and the northern rebel stronghold of Saada.

They said the Taiz airstrike hit a house in the Dimnat Khadir district, an area that has seen heavy fighting between Saudi-backed government forces and Iran-allied Houthi rebels. At least 15 people were killed, the tribal officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

Another airstrike hit a workshop in Saada, killing at least two people and wounding eight others, including several schoolgirls, said Aliaa Al-Shabby, the rebels’ minister for human rights. She urged an independent commission to be formed to investigate what she called “massacres committed against civilians and unarmed Yemeni people.”

People suffering in Congo Africa, Yemen, yes, even Mexico and Venezuela, if it's possible to include them in rational analysis but we always get wrapped up in some special situation.
