Childhood in Yemen was slaughtered

Yes, it is the suffering of Yemeni children, it is a story that was written by the aggression during three years with the ink of death.

The U.S. and Britain have continued to support the coalition, mainly with weapons sales and logistical help. Without foreign assistance, it would be very difficult for the Saudis to wage war.

Since the war began, at least ten thousand Yemeni civilians have been killed (Mostly children), though the number is potentially much higher, because few organizations on the ground have the resources to count the dead. Some three million people have been displaced, and hundreds of thousands have left the country. Before the war, Yemen was the Middle East’s poorest state, relying on imports to feed the population. Now, after effectively being blockaded by the coalition for more than two and a half years, it faces famine. More than a million people have cholera, and thousands have died from the disease. Unicef,the

World Food Program, and the World Health Organization have called the situation in Yemen the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.

The war ensures that the suffering of tens of millions of Yemenis, at least eight million of whom are on the verge of famine, will only get worse over time.

About 3.3 million people, including 1.8 million children, across the Arab peninsula’s poorest country are suffering from acute malnutrition, it said. They include nearly half a million children under the age of five with severe acute malnutrition. 256 schools were completely destroyed until 2017 and 173 were stopped receiving students as a result of the war, and half of Yemen’s children do not have receive drinking water and health services

The former senior Administration official told me, “Since January, you’ve seen the humanitarian situation in Yemen fall off a cliff, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence.” According to Rajat Madhok, of unicef, the cholera crisis and the malnutrition are unprecedented. “‘Bad’ would be an understatement,” Madhok told me. “You’re looking at a health collapse, a systemic collapse.”

The most severe form of malnutrition leaves young children vulnerable to life-threatening but preventable diarrhoeal diseases, malaria and respiratory infections.
