SANAA, Oct. 8 -- Remains of missiles and ash are still in the place, as hundreds of children who lost their fathers in one of the most deadliest airstrikes through Yemen's three-year war gathered Monday in the capital Sanaa to commemorate their parents on the second anniversary of a 2016 funeral hall airstrike.
The children and relatives gathered in a large crowd near the wreckage of the giant funeral hall in the southern part of Sanaa to watch the scene, to recall final memories with their parents who were among 140 civilians killed here by that air attack that also injured over 500 others.
The children sat next to each other along with their young widowed mothers on ranks of chairs under a very long tent that cast its shadow across the opposite side of the wreckage of the funeral hall building.
Some carried red roses, white flowers, while the others held posters showing their dads and uncles. Most of the children are still too young to remember details of the terrible tragedy.
"I bought a red rose for my dad," Hashim Radhwan al-Khazan, a 12-year-old boy who lost his father in the airstrike, told Xinhua.
His brother, five-year-old Ahmed, repeated "red rose...I love you dad."
Their 15-year-old sister, Huda, could not tell much besides tears mixed with words. "I will never forget my father," she sobbed.
The young widowed mother said the "airstrike killed her husband Radhwan into pieces."
