A human rights report: More than 3,825 martyrs, 4157 wounded children in Yemen due to aggression

Entesaf Organization for Women and Child Rights issued a human rights report documenting the tragic situation of Yemeni children as a result of the siege, aggression and their effects, explaining that the number of children victims of the bombing of the US-Saudi aggression has approached 8,000 martyrs and wounded.

The human rights report of the organization revealed that the number of children victims of the US-Saudi aggression from the beginning of the aggression until the end of November 2021 amounted to more than 3,825 martyrs and 4157 wounded.

It indicated that the number of children with various disabilities caused by the aggression reached 5,559 cases. While the cases of tumors among children recorded 71 thousand since the beginning of the aggression, to which are added 9 thousand cases annually.

The report indicated that more than three million children suffer from malnutrition, while more than 300 children die every day. There are more than 3,000 children suffering from congenital anomalies, while more than 3,000 children need open-heart surgery outside Yemen.

The human rights report indicated that the closure of Sana’a International Airport prevented more than 30,000 children with various chronic diseases from traveling for treatment abroad.

Regarding the tragic situation of children in the educational stages, the report of Entesaf Organization revealed that there are two million Yemeni children out of school, while half a million others have left schools completely since the start of the aggression.

It held the coalition of aggression and all humanitarian organizations, especially the United Nations, fully responsible for the systematic targeting of Yemen in general and children in particular.

The human rights organization called for quickly stopping the aggression, lifting the siege, and opening airports to Yemeni patients, especially children.

Saudi Arabia and its allies launched its war against Yemen in March 2015 in order to restore power in Yemen to Riyadh’s favorite officials.

The military campaign has stopped short of the goal, while killing tens of thousands of Yemenis and turning the entire country into the scene of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

The Yemeni defense forces have, however, vowed not to lay down their arms until liberation of the entire country.
