Disgusting. The Saudi-led coalition has once again launched deadly airstrikes at innocent Yemenis using US-supplied spare parts, maintenance, & targeting assistance. It's time Congress passes a Yemen War Powers Resolution to end military support to the Saudi/UAE coalition NOW!

At least 70 people were killed and more than 130 injured when an airstrike hit a detention center in Yemen on Friday, Doctors Without Borders said, as the Saudi-led coalition continued to ramp up its deadly offensive on rebels in the war-torn nation.
