As Saudi Arabia continues its war with Yemen, new evidence suggests that the kingdom has relied on white phosphorus munitions, likely supplied by the United States government.

Throughout the bloody military campaign in Yemen, Riyadh has been accused of continuous human rights violations over its indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas. The United Nations estimates that roughly 10,000 people have been killed in 18 months of fighting. Approximately 3,800 of those casualties are believed to be civilians.
