Yemeni cancer clinic hit by heavy weapons, MSF says

ADEN (Reuters) - A cancer clinic in the Yemeni city of Taiz was hit by heavy weapons on Saturday, with one staff member injured, medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said.

The Saudi-backed Yemeni government blamed the attack on the Houthi movement.

Patients were relocated and non-essential staff sent away, MSF said, after the attack on the clinic which is adjacent to a hospital that the charity supports.

There was also shelling near another hospital which receives its support, MSF said, with two civilians injured.
