Warplanes from a Saudi-led coalition struck a residential district of the Yemeni capital Sanaa overnight, killing 21 civilians and more than 50 people had been wounded, residents said on Friday.

Warplanes also struck a military airbase near the capital.The strikes came days after jets bombed the runway to stop an Iranian Aid plane landing. Damage to the airport has stopped aid deliveries, officials said.

More than a week after Saudi Arabia announced the end of Operation Decisive Storm, Yemenis are still being bombed.

The relentless bombing of the Arab world’s poorest country has created a humanitarian disaster that aid groups are struggling to deal with. Yemenis still in the country say conditions are deteriorating by the day, Global post report.

In Sanaa, the situation is so desperate that children are eating out of garbage cans. The streets are strewn with broken window glass and in some areas unexploded shells lie in the middle of the road. To the east of the capital, in Marib, residents are taking refuge in the city’s sewers.

Heavy bombing by a Saudi targeting Yemen in the last few months, has left more than a thousand dead and 150,000 displaced.

Saudi Arabia announced on April 21 that it had halted its month-long bombing campaign, Operation Decisive Storm, but it immediately began another — Operation Restoring Hope — which consisted of even more bombing.
