There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Saba blamed it on the Iran-aligned Huthis. Yemen's war escalated in March 2015, when President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia and the coalition intervened. Since then, the conflict has killed nearly 10,000 people and unleashed the world's worst humanitarian crisis, according to the UN. UN aid officials say 80 per cent of the population - 24 million people - are in need of aid and nearly 10 million are just one step away from famine.
