Yemen Women

A drone attack in Yemen killed five civilians on Saturday, according to both the Houthi rebels and government sources who accused each other of being behind the strike.

In a video project dedicated to young people in the Middle East, where more than half of the population is under 30, AFP interviewed women from Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar and Bahrain.

Scooping up handfuls of white crystals from coastal pools, a group of women in Yemen harvest salt -- a traditional industry proving to be a lifeline after seven years of war.

Seven children and two women were killed in an air raid in northwest Yemen, a UN agency said Monday, as Riyadh said it intercepted missiles fired by Yemeni Huthi rebels.

Eight women and two children from the same Yemeni family were killed when an air strike by forces of the Saudi-led coalition involved in the country's three-year-old war hit a wedding party, residents said on Monday.

Warplanes of the Saudi-led coalition struck a house north of Yemen's capital where a crowd of mourners had gathered, residents said on Thursday, killing nine women and a child and injuring dozens.

The women in this village never earned money, never left home without the permission of their husbands. It had been that way for as long as anyone could remember.

Aircraft from the Saudi-led coalition targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen struck targets in the eastern port city of Hodeida on Wednesday, killing 11 people, including women and children, Yemeni security officials said.

The death toll from an alleged air strike on a Yemeni wedding soared today to 131, including women and children, as the Saudi-led coalition denied it was behind the incident.

A local official and residents said at least 27 people, mostly women or children, were killed on Monday in an air strike on a wedding party in southwest Yemen, but a Saudi-led coalition that has air supremacy over the country strongly denied any role.

At least 28 people, including eight women, were killed in an attack against the residence of two leaders of the Shiite Huthi rebels in Sanaa on Monday night, a Yemeni medical source said.

The rocket that tore through a minivan outside the Aden Grand Hotel last week killing nine men, women and children was a clear message that it was time to leave. Yemen's civil war had come too close for comfort.

Yemeni troops today shot dead five Al-Qaeda suspects disguised as women who fired at a soldier during a checkpoint inspection of their Saudi-bound bus, officials said.

Yemen's 2011 Arab Spring revolt began with a nucleus of young men and women, a mix of socialists, secularists and moderate Islamists.
