Yemen school bus attack: Two months later

A report from Orla Guerin at the scene in Yemen where dozens of schoolchildren and adults were killed in an air strike two months ago. The strike was conducted by a coalition, led by Saudi Arabia and backed by the UK, the US, and France. They are supporting Yemen's internationally-recognised government in its war against the Houthi rebels backed by Iran. The Saudis claim they never deliberately hit civilian targets. At least 10,000 people have been killed and millions displaced in 3 years of fighting in Yemen. The UN is demanding an end to the air strikes, which they say are making the plight of civilians much worse. First broadcast: 16/10/2018
