50 people died in a bus attack in Yemen and 77 were injured, most of whom were children, the International Committee of the Red Cross stated, citing officials. The Saudi-led coalition has called the attack "legitimate." The Saudi-led coalition later said the airstrikes were aimed at missile launchers used to attack the southern Saudi city of Jiza, claiming its strike constituted a "legitimate action." It went on to accuse Houthi rebels of using children as human shields. The attack took place in Dahyan Market in northern Saada, a Houthi rebel stronghold, on Thursday morning.
https://www.rt.com/newsWhatever is meant here by a "legitimate" attack? Would it be the traditional definition "in compliance with the law"? What the heck is wrong with these people? Another part of this article stood out to me:
Thursdays attack is the latest in Yemen's ongoing, brutal civil war. But, despite the conflict having started in March 2015, Western governments and media outlets have largely turned away, preferring to prioritize the Syria conflict over the plight of Yemeni civilians who face extreme hunger, a lack of medical supplies, and have endured a major cholera outbreak.
What a powerful point. The media somehow picks and chooses what wars to talk about. In reality there are many wars happening all over the world. When the media doesn't talk about a war, the rest of the world thinks that everything has calmed down. Some people are not getting help that they could if the media actually talked about what's happening. This is yet another confirmation to me that the "news" hardly gives you a picture of what's really happening in the world.
