During the past three years of Yemen’s civil war, almost one in four civilian casualties were children, according to a new report from Save The Children.
At least 2,341 children in Yemen died in the conflict between 2018 and 2020, the charity said, adding that the real death toll is almost certainly higher. The group also found that the conflict is getting more dangerous for young people, with the rate of casualties among children increasing significantly in 2019 and 2020.
