What is the immediate impact of the increased US bombing in Yemen on civilian populations and the international humanitarian situation?

The US bombing campaign in Yemen, Operation Rough Rider, has resulted in a significant increase in civilian casualties compared to the previous campaign, Operation Poseidon Archer. Sixty-eight civilians were killed in a single overnight bombing of a detention center, and the overall estimate exceeds 500 civilian casualties, including at least 158 deaths. This contrasts sharply with Operation Poseidon Archer's 85 casualties over a longer period.
