The UK takes allegations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) violations extremely seriously; when they occur, we encourage the Saudi-led Coalition to ensure they are thoroughly investigated. Saudi Arabia has publicly stated that it is investigating reports of alleged violations of IHL and that lessons will be acted upon.
