Thousands of people gathered in the Yemeni capital of Saada for the funerals of the 51 people killed in military air strikes, including 40 children.

One mourning parent says his son was running errands when the enemy air strike happened, and blames Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for his death.

The Saudi-UAE military alliance has carried out more than 16,000 airstrikes on Yemen since 2015, in an effort to reinstate the internationally recognised government.
