Devastating Impact of Yemen Conflict on Children: NGO Reports
A new report by Save the Children reveals the staggering toll of the Yemen conflict on young lives, with nearly 1,200 children killed or injured despite a ceasefire.
Yemen's ongoing conflict has taken a devastating toll on its youngest victims, with nearly 1,200 children killed or injured since the start of a truce in April 2022, according to a new report by the Save the Children nonprofit organization. The report paints a grim picture of the continued dangers facing children in the war-torn country, with landmines and explosive remnants of war responsible for nearly half of these casualties.
The ceasefire agreement, which went into effect in April, was intended to provide a much-needed respite for Yemen's beleaguered population. However, the findings from Save the Children's investigation demonstrate the fragility of the truce and the persistent threats to children's safety and well-being.
