UNICEF: Over 137,000 Yemeni Children Losing Access to Education
(MENAFN) More than 137,000 school-aged children in Yemen are experiencing severe disruptions to their education as fighting continues across the country, UNICEF said Monday.
The UN children's agency reported that its response teams are establishing 20 child-friendly spaces and temporary classrooms, alongside protection services for children affected by the violence.
"Children shouldn't lose their future to conflict," UNICEF said.
The agency noted Friday that renewed clashes had driven families from their homes in western Taiz province and along districts on Yemen's western coast. Working alongside the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and the World Food Programme (WFP), UNICEF is now delivering emergency assistance to more than 14,000 people who have been newly displaced.
Fighting between forces loyal to Yemen's internationally recognized government and the Houthis has intensified since early July, breaking a period of relative calm that had lasted for years.
Yemen has been mired in conflict since 2014, when the Houthis seized control of the capital, Sanaa, along with several other provinces. A Saudi-led Arab coalition intervened the following year in support of the internationally recognized government, and the war has continued since.
