Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen to try military personnel suspected in deadly air strikes on Yemenis
People inspect the rubble at a Houthi detention center destroyed by Saudi-led airstrikes, that killed at least 60 people and wounding several dozen according to officials and the rebels' health ministry, in Dhamar province, southwestern Yemen, on September 1, 2019.
He said the trials would be based on the results of investigations by the Joint Incident Assessment Team , which the coalition established but says operates independently. Since then, fighting has killed tens of thousands of people, most of them civilians, displaced millions and sparked what the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.Both the coalition and the rebels have been accused by the United Nations and rights groups of committing violations in Yemen that could amount to war crimes.
According to the experts, air strikes, indiscriminate shelling, snipers and landmines were terrorising civilians across Yemen, one of the most impoverished countries in the world.
