Saudi-led coalition in Yemen says UN statement 'biased'
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Shiite rebels in Yemen has criticized a United Nations statement on civilian casualties in the war-torn country as "biased" toward the rebels.
The coalition said in a Thursday statement carried by the Saudi news agency SPA that the UN needs to review the humanitarian work mechanism and the competence of its employees working in Yemen.
Earlier on Thursday, the UN said coalition airstrikes killed 109 civilians over the past 10 days, including 68 in one day in separate airstrikes.
The coalition says the statement "creates a constant state of uncertainty about the information and data on which the UN relies and undermines its credibility."
