Staff From 6 Hospitals to Be Evacuated in Yemen Amid Saudi Airstrikes
18:33 GMT 18.08.2016 (Updated: 10:56 GMT 05.03.2023) Employees of six hospitals in Yemen run by an international humanitarian group the Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders, or MSF) will be evacuated to safety amid recent airstrikes launched by the Saudi-led coalition, the group said on Thursday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The aid group took steps for evacuation of its staff after an airstrike partially destroyed the hospital in Hajjah run by the group, killing 14 people on Monday.
According to the humanitarian group, "indiscriminate bombings" carried out by the coalition which often targets medical institutions prompted MSF to make such a decision.

Since 2014, Yemen has been gripped by the conflict between the Sunni government and the Shia Houthi rebel movement backed by some factions within the Yemeni army.
Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf countries has been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis at the Yemeni government's request despite a ceasefire agreed in April.
