Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen have killed at least 30 civilians in the last two weeks, the UN humanitarian chief has said.

An attack on Thursday killed at least 22 children and four women fleeing fighting in the Al Durayhimi district, which sits south of the port city of Hodeidah, said Mark Lowcock, the under-secretary general for humanitarian affairs.

Another strike in Al Durayhimi on Thursday killed four children, he added.

In a statement, Mr Lowcock echoed the call for “an impartial, independent and prompt investigation into these most recent incidents” issued by the UN secretary-general, Antonio Guterres.
