On 8th October in Yemen's capital Sanaa, Saudi-led coalition jets bombed a funeral in a community building. 140 people were killed and more than five hundred injured. It was the deadliest attack in the 21 month air campaign which is aimed at re-instating Yemen's government from the Houthi rebels. The coalition's investigation team said "incorrect information" led to aircraft wrongly targeting the location. Nawal al-Maghafi travelled to Yemen to investigate what happened.
