According to Mwatana for Human Rights: "On Sunday, 8 April 2018, at about 9:30 pm, Coalition aircraft hit a family gathering outside their home in the Al Mahoul village in the Khidair district of Taizz governorate, killing 12 people, including five children and four women, and severely wounding one person. Muhammad Sadiq (24 years old), whose relatives were killed, said: “We heard a plane flying overhead, and my father ordered the whole family to leave the house for somewhere far away because he was afraid that the plane would bomb our house. The plane, however, was focused on the terrified and fleeing women and children, and, as soon as they had gathered, the plane unleashed hell on them, leaving their body parts scattered all over the nearby trees.” He added: “We spent the night collecting what was left of my siblings, and the only thing left of their bodies was charred pieces of meat. We could not tell any of the bodies apart. We gathered what remained of them in plastic bags and we buried them all together.” Jamil Abdullah (42 years old), from the area, added: “In this village, we usually carry the dead on our shoulders when we are taking them to burial. This time, we had to carry them on a truck because there were so many of them." ^[+]
