In pictures: Battle-torn Yemen
UN says hundreds of people have died and thousands of families have fled their homes since the coalition attacks began.
The United Nations says hundreds of people have died and thousands of families have fled their homes since the coalition began its assault in Yemen on March 26. The UN agency for refugees says that up to 150,000 people have been displaced over the past three weeks, while more than 300,000 had already fled their homes due to unrest in past years.
The most recent air strike on a Scud missile base in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa caused a huge explosion that blew out windows in homes.

None of the European countries, US, Canada are raising their voices against Saudis bombings, killing innocent Yemenis. War does not bring peace, for which Saudis are doing, all it brings, anarchy, destruction, deaths of innocent, families get dispersed. On one side the Saudis and other side the Russians are doing the same in Ukraine.

Saudi bombings are killing Muslims.
But the Saudi ideology, and that of its proxies all over the world, does not these people to be Muslims.

The Saudi Kings have no mercy for killing their brother neighbors and indiscriminately destroying their properties. Even they have no shame for this heinous crime and asking Pakistan to be part of this destruction.

Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) would have been so unhappy to see this destruction of helpless people of Yemen. It's a sheer bloodbath of Innocent Muslims and Aale-Saud has started a bida'a by attacking Muslims and trying to plant disunity though tout the globe. They are the same people who ditched Ottoman Empire and collaborated to break it down into pieces with British Empire and still continue stab Muslims with extremism and fanning disunity among Muslims. Spent $70 billion dollars on creating and nurturing Taliban and ISIL. Not a single university was created for well being of Muslims in this region.

Though Saudi seems to have gone way over board. Israel usually has a predetermined objective which they try to achieve in the most tactical and least destruction prone way possible, but I do not know what Saudi is striving for in the absence of substantial ground forces on the ground. What level of accuracy can be achieve by just firing at stuff from the air.
