This news says 90 bodies have been found as of now, but various sources are already reporting more than 100 people killed and many injured. The mainstream media barely even mentioned the news, let alone saying the real number, and you won't see Barack Obama crying over this, neither those Europeans shedding crocodile tears as they sell Saudis billions in weapons. Saudis are 'allies' after all, no matter how backward their system is and no matter how many terrorists they nurture and how many people they kill.

SANA, Yemen — Dozens of people were killed when warplanes from a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia bombed a restaurant and crowded market in northern Yemen shortly before noon on Tuesday, medical workers said.
Rescue workers could not give an exact count of the victims because few of the bodies were left intact, said Ali Ajlan, an administrator at one of the hospitals in the area.
An initial count turned up as many as 90 bodies, he said, making it among the deadliest airstrikes in Yemen’s year long civil war.
“One leg here and a head there,” said Mr. Ajlan, the assistant director of the Jamhouri hospital in Hajja Province, where the airstrikes occurred. “They are still collecting.” The Saudi led coalition has consistently denied that it targets civilians as it fights the Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group that drove Yemen’s Saudi backed government from power last year. But in investigations of several bombings,journalists and human rights workers have turned up little evidence of any Houthi affiliated military personnel or facilities near the site of the attacks. United Nations officials have said that most of the nearly 3,000 civilians killed in the conflict have died in airstrikes. There have been varying reasons given for the high toll, including that the coalition pilots, fearful of ground fire, are flying too high to carry out accurate strikes.
