As the Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen continue. A UN spokesman says one airstrike on Monday killed at least 29 people at a refugee camp inside the country.

The Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General says the casualties appeared to be all civilians. He said of the 41 people injured, 14 are children and 11 are women.

According to media reports, the civilians were killed when what appeared to be an airstrike hit a camp for displaced families in the Hajjah Governorate on Monday.

The reports called it the deadliest single episode involving civilians since Saudi Arabia began its military campaign to drive back Houthi rebels last week.
