Yemen Hospital Hit by Air Strikes

Yemen strikes; Syria napalm claims; Yellow fever

The conflict in Yemen claimed more lives on Monday - a medical facility run by Medecins Sans Frontieres was bombed in the north of the country killing at least 11 people.

People living in a suburb just outside Syria's capital Damascus say their government is using the chemical weapon napalm against them.
