Yemeni boy wont let go of father's dead body killed in Saudi airstrike

555 A video published on Monday (April 23) by Al-Masirah, a TV station of the armed Houthi movement which controls much of northern Yemen, showed a young boy on the ground clutching his father's body in Hajjah after a Saudi-led air strike killed at least 20 people at a wedding. The UN Secretary-General has strongly condemned Saudi Arabia's airstrike on a wedding ceremony in Yemen that left dozens of people dead. Antonio Guterres has also called for a prompt, effective and transparent investigation into the incident. Earlier, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman slammed the Saudi airstrike as violent and inhumane. Bahram Qassemi said the intensified air raids against Yemeni civilians show that Saudis have been unsuccessful in reaching their goals in the war-battered country. The attack on the wedding ceremony in northern Hajjah province late on Sunday left at least 33 people dead and dozens more wounded.
