Funeral Hall Attack Yemenis on Protest

An air strike killed more than 140 people at a wake on Saturday. More than 500 people were wounded in bombing, which targeted the wake of the father of Houthi-appointed Interior Minister Gawal al-Rawishan. Its aftermath was described as a “lake of blood” by one rescuer.

Saudi Arabia has not acknowledged any role but pledged to investigate.

Powerful former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has allied himself with the Houthi rebels that control Sanaa, has called for people to attack soldiers on the Saudi border in revenge.

Many Houthi officials were in attendance and Mr Rawishan was seriously wounded in the strike.

Thousands of Demonstrators gathered outside the UN headquarters demanding an international investigation
