<p>The UK government has expressed serious concern at the tragic loss of life in Yemen
over August, including the tragic incidents of 2 August, 9 August, and 23 August in
which so many Yemenis were killed. In the first two weeks of August alone, over 400
Yemenis lost their lives, including young children, and many more continue to face
egregious violations of their basic human rights.</p><p> </p><p>We have welcomed the
speed of the investigation into the Sa’ada incident of 9 August, and the Coalition’s
announcement of regret and action to address the recommendations of that investigation,
and are continuing to review the investigation’s conclusions.</p><p> </p><p>We continue
to urge all sides of the conflict to do everything possible to protect innocent civilian
life and to demonstrate their commitment to International Humanitarian law.</p>
