Description
According to Mwatana for Human Rights: "Saudi-Emirati-led coalition aircraft damaged al-Maqna’a health unit in Monbh district. The attack appears to have been aimed at a Houthi official’s home, and not at the health unit directly, but as the attack was in close proximity to the unit, the unit was partially destroyed. A medical worker was killed by shrapnel to his neck. The health unit reopened seven months after the attack." [+]
