7,500 kids ‘killed or maimed’ in Yemen
Jul 3, 2021
More than 7,500 children have been killed or wounded in Yemen over the past 5 1/2 years, the UN said in a report published Friday.
The report by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres documented thousands of grave violations against children between April 2013 and December 2018.
The war in Yemen broke out in 2014 when Houthi rebels overran the capital, Sanaa, and drove President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi into exile. The civilian population, especially children, is kept hostage of a conflict they didn’t choose to be in.
