International aid agency Oxfam has condemned a Saudi air strike in Yemen that it said hit one of its stores containing humanitarian supplies in the city of Saada.
Riyadh, which has led a coalition of allies with Western support in three weeks of air strikes on Yemen, has faced growing criticism over Yemen's growing humanitarian crisis.
"We have shared detailed information with the coalition on the locations of our offices and storage facilities. The contents of the warehouse had no military value. It only contained humanitarian supplies," said Grace Ommer, Oxfam's country director, in a press statement posted on its website on Sunday.
Relief agencies criticized Saudi Arabia in the first two weeks of the aggression for the difficulty in arranging shipments of aid, including food and medicine, into the country.
