More than 140 people have been killed and over 500 injured in air strikes on a funeral gathering in Yemen’s capital Sanaa, a senior UN official says.
Jamie McGoldrick, the UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Yemen, condemned “the horrific attack”.
The rebel Houthi-run government said a Saudi-led coalition was responsible – a claim Saudi Arabia denied.
The US said it had launched an “immediate review” of its already reduced support for the coalition.
“US security co-operation with Saudi Arabia is not a blank check,” White House National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said.
