Yemen: Saudi-Led Coalition Bombs Kill 16, Wound 12
--------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, an airstrike on a vegetable packaging plant in the coastal
province of Hodeidah Wednesday killed at least 16 people and wounded 12
others, according to medical workers and residents. All of the victims
were workers at the plant. The killing was the latest in a string of
civilian deaths amid the ongoing U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing in
Yemen. The assault and a Saudi blockade have exacerbated a cholera
epidemic that's led to 1.2 million suspected cases, while fueling a food
crisis that has pushed 14 million people to the brink of famine.
