Just hours before a five-day humanitarian cease-fire was set to begin on Tuesday, Saudi-led airstrikes hit Sanaa, the capital of Yemen.
Three airstrikes apparently hit a Houthi rebel base on Tuesday. On Monday, meanwhile, Saudi-led airstrikes in Sanaa killed 90 people and wounded 300, according to reports. Since March, an alliance of Gulf nations has bombed Iranian-backed Houthi units. The conflict has displaced more than 300,000 civilians.
