According to Mwatana for Human Rights: "At about 02:30 pm on Wednesday February 1, 2017, the Arab Coalition targeted a house in the village of Sana, located in Haddah area in Sana’a. The attack resulted in killing an entire family of five members including two children. Only one girl child survived (Anood, eight years old) because she was outside the house at the time of the attack. Eyewitness, Abbas Abdulah Hussien Al-Mutta’a (45 years old) said: “I rushed to the location where the bomb struck, with a number of other rescuers. We found the mother under the debris; she was still alive then, and was taken to the hospital. Later, I saw a girl child...” Al-Mutta’a cut his statement short for a few seconds; he was extremely emotional and his eyes were full of tears. He added: “I could not stay much longer; my heart could not bear any more of such scenes” [+]
