In a report presented to the Human Rights Council, a group of experts named by the UN said that Yemen's people have been subjected to some 10 airstrikes a day, a total of more than 23,000 since March 2015.
The report, which cited the Yemen Data Project for the airstrike figures, found both sides in the war to have violated international law. The project, a local data gathering operation, attributes all of the airstrikes to the Saudi-led coalition.
Meanwhile the coalition's rivals, the Houthi rebels, have shelled neighborhoods, camps for the displaced, an airport and markets, leading to the deaths of dozens, according to the UN experts.
