UNICEF: At least 62 children killed during Saudi airstrikes in Yemen

The United Nations children's agency, UNICEF, said on Tuesday at least 62 children have been killed and 30 injured during the Saudi aggression against Yemen over the past week.

 

"Children are in desperate need of protection, and all parties to the conflict should do all in their power to keep children safe," said UNICEF's representative for Yemen Julien Harneis, FNA reported.

UNICEF said the fighting was severely damaging health and education services, and exacerbating already precarious conditions for children who are facing a food crisis and acute malnutrition.

The violence is leaving children terrified, UNICEF said.
