Saudi-led airstrike in residential area of Yemen have killed at least 120

A Saudi-led coalition airstrike in a residential area in a quiet Red Sea town in Yemen, has left at least 120 dead – it is believed to be the deadliest strike against civilians since the beginning of offensive in March. The airstrikes hit workers' housing for a power plant in Mokha and flattened some of the buildings to the ground. There was also a fire in the area and many of the corpses were charred beyond recognition. Most of them were of children, women and elderly people.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 26 July 2015.

Subsequent to the airstrike, the coalition announced that it would start a five-day humanitarian pause.
Many of the workers had with them families who had come to visit for the Eid al-Fitr holiday at the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The population of Mokha is mostly fisherman and it had a reputation as one of the safest places in the country embroiled in war.
Rights groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have already expressed concern that the Saudi-led coalition is violating laws of war and is not doing enough to prevent or minimize civilian casualties.
