Two children were reportedly killed by Saudi air attacks in the Saada province, just as the, “UN special envoy arrives in Sanaa for peace talks.” Rescuers sifted through rubble to find, three-year-old Nabil, and new-born Sumood. On Saturday a UAE and Saudi alliance bombed the home of the children in the Marran district a poverty-stricken area  just 40km from Saudi. The province is not unfamiliar with the bombings since Saudi has been launching air attacks on Yemen since 2015.
