12 mln children suffer in Yemen
(MENAFN) On Thursday, Dec. 10, Henrietta Fore, Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) stated that, life is "a waking nightmare" for 12 million children in Yemen.
Fore addressed the sophisticated event: "Yemen is teetering on the edge of complete collapse." She added: "averting famine in Yemen: What can we do now and in 2021," mentioning that life is "a waking nightmare" for 12 million children in the war-torn state, which has been caught up in a civil war since late 2014.
She noted: "it is perhaps the most dangerous place on earth to be a child. One child dies every 10 minutes from a preventable disease. Two million are out of school. And thousands have been killed, maimed or recruited since 2015. Just last week, 11 were reportedly killed, including a one-month-old baby."
Fore further said that the condition on the ground is "a tangle of crises - any one of which would bring a country to its knees."
