The US should be held accountable for the death of civilians in Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen, Yemeni journalist Hussain Albukhaiti told RT. As he spoke, he held up a US-made cluster bomb he said was found by children.


The journalist spoke about the most recent airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition in the Hamdan district of Sanaa that killed six civilians and injured another six. A home was hit in the attack, where parents lived with their four children. Only two children from the entire family survived. Shocking footage of the aftermath shows them trapped under the rubble of their home, unable to escape from a concrete dungeon. Albukhaiti, whose friend filmed the harrowing scenes, told RT that the children had to wait for hours until rescuers came, as Saudi fighter jets were preventing them from accessing the area with a brutal 'double-tap' air strike.
