At least five people have been killed in a missile strike on a Medecins Sans Frontieres medical facility in Yemen. The organization \u201cstrongly condemns this,\u201d while adding that 10 people have been injured in the attack.<\/div>\n

\u201cWe can confirm five dead people; we have transferred several injured to our other hospital in Sanaa, some of them are in critical condition<\/em>,\u201d MSF director of operations Raquel Ayora told RT.<\/p>\n

“The hospital is no longer functioning. It’s been decreasing its services to the civilian population over the last months, only running life-saving and essential services. And right now there is no capacity to provide medical assistance in this hospital<\/em>,” she added.<\/p>\n

The facility, which was hit by a rocket on Sunday, is in Razeh in the north of the country. In a statement on Twitter, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) say they,\u00a0“strongly condemn this and we reiterate to all parties to the conflict that patients & medical facilities must be respected.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“We haven’t received … any feedback [so far] from any of our contacts in the different lines of command, so we can not confirm if any investigation has been launched,<\/em>” the MSF official told RT.<\/p>\n

According to MSF staff on the ground, one missile hit the Shiara Hospital, where the humanitarian organization has been operating since November, 2015. MSF say they are unable to say who was responsible for the attack, but mentioned planes were seen flying over the facility at the time the attack took place. The organization adds that the death toll could rise as there is the possibility that people are still trapped in the rubble.<\/p>\n
