GENEVA (AFP) -  The United Nations on Friday decried the "carnage" caused by recent air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, saying the alliance had caused the vast majority of civilian deaths in the conflict.
"Looking at the figures, it would seem that the coalition is responsible for twice as many civilian casualties as all other forces put together," UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said in a statement.
