On the 7th May 2015, the Saudi led coalition struck a poor family household, in a village in Samnah area, Bakeel Al Mair district in the northern side of Hajah province in Yemen, killing all 14 members of the family, including several children and women. Two of the children did not die instantly but suffered from horrific burns, yet due to the remoteness of the area had to wait 4 hours without help before being taken to hospital, where they died.

Many homes were also reported as completely destroyed and 100 cattle killed.
