A Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a hospital in Yemen's northern Hajjah province Monday, killing at least six people. Authorities say at least 20 were wounded.
The hospital is run by the medical charity Doctors Without Borders. Edward Yeranian takes a look.
Amateur video shown by pro-Houthi Yemeni media showed part of the rudimentary two-story Abs Hospital complex on fire and a number of bodies lying in the courtyard of the facility.
Hilal Soufi, deputy governor of Hajjah province, said it was the only working hospital in the area and that it served four or five other adjacent regions.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Monday outlined his plan to counter terrorism.
Speaking in Ohio, Trump said he would call an international conference of world leaders to devise a new plan to crash and destroy Islamic terrorism.
"We will also work very closely with NATO on this new mission. I had previously said that NATO was obsolete because it failed to deal adequately with terrorism. Since my comments, they have changed their policy and now have a new division focused on terror threats very good, very, very good. I also believe that we can find common ground with Russia in the fight against ISIS."
His opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, campaign Monday in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She took Trump to task for his domestic, economic and foreign affairs proposals.
