Houthi-run television showed pictures from The Scene of men clearing debris with their hands and of wounded at a local hospital. MSF said one hospital had received More Than 200 casualties.
" There are many bodies still at The Scene of the Air Strike , many Missing People , " Ahmed Mahat, MSF chief in Yemen, told AFP news agency. " It is impossible to know how many people have been killed. It seems to have been a horrific act of violence.
