SAUDI LED COALITION AIRSTRIKE HITS YEMEN FUNERAL.

A Saudi-led coalition air strike has hit a funeral hall in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, killing eight-two people.

The rebel Houthi-run government says more than five hundred people were injured.

Houthi rebels are at war with the internationally-recognised Yemeni government, which is backed by a Saudi-led military alliance.

The International Committee of the Red Cross says it had prepared three hundred body bags.

Hundreds of body parts were found inside and outside the hall after the strike.

The funeral was being held for the father of Houthi-appointed Interior Minister, Galal al-Rawishan, an ally of the rebels and former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
