UN : Aggression and Education under fire

The war has caused immunization coverage to stagnate, with 28 per cent of children under a year old missing routine vaccinations.

The situation, together with lack of access to safe water, means children are at extreme risk of diseases such as cholera, measles and diphtheria.

Yemen is also facing a severe education crisis, with tremendous long-term consequences for children, UNICEF warned.

Two million boys and girls currently are out of school, which could rise to six million as at least one out of four schools are destroyed or partially damaged.
