A young boy is seen curling up with and hugging the body of his father, killed hours earlier in a Saudi-led coalition airstrike on a wedding party that killed at least 20 people in the Yemeni city of Hajjah on Sunday.
Seven-year-old Samih Ali Shoaai was found clinging to his father's lifeless body while surrounded by scattered human remains and mutilated, limbless bodies, by witnesses searching for survivors. After helping the injured, a rescuer can be heard telling the boy "OK I will take you." while Samih replies "Only with my father."
Top health official in the Hajjah province Ayman Madhkoor said at least 20 people were killed and more than 50 injured, including many women and children, when the strike hit the wedding late on Sunday. It is thought the bride is also among the dead. Footage of the harrowing aftermath only emerged on Monday.
