Oman plane to evacuate 115 wounded from Yemen funeral raid

SANAA, Oct 15, (APP/AFP) – An Omani aircraft landed in the rebel-held Yemeni capital on Saturday to evacuate 115 of the most seriously wounded from a coalition strike on a funeral last weekend, a rebel official said. The strike killed more than 140 people and wounded at least 525. Oman is the only Gulf Arab state that is not part of the coalition fighting the Huthi rebels and has previously organised evacuations from Sanaa of Westerners and others who had been detained by the insurgents.
