United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Tuesday condemned airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition that hit the Hayadeen Medical Hospital in the Sa'dah governorate, which is run by Médecins Sans Frontières with support from the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The strikes reportedly resulted in injuries to several people and the complete destruction of the facility, according to a statement issued by Mr. Ban's spokesperson in New York.
The Secretary-General said that "hospitals and medical personnel are explicitly protected under international humanitarian law" and reminded all parties involved "to respect their obligations under international human rights law and international humanitarian law to prevent attacks against civilians and civilian objects."
In his statement, Mr. Ban called for "a prompt, effective and impartial investigation in order to ensure accountability" and urged all parties in the Yemen conflict to immediately cease all operations, including airstrikes.

L'hôpital de l'organisation internationale "Médecins sans frontières", situé dans la province de Sada dans le nord-ouest de Yémen, a été frappé par des avions lundi soir, alors que des employés et des patients se trouvaient dans le bâtiment.
