Three children among 56 casualties as conflict escalates

Three children and eight adults are reported to have been killed and at least 45 other people injured in the past three days in intensifying conflict across Yemen.

In just 72 hours 56 casualties have been recorded, including 11 fatalities. Devastatingly, three innocent children are among the dead. Almost every day we hear of children and families caught up in the fighting, often paying with their lives. Yemen’s children risk death or injury by venturing outside and get caught up in the frequent shelling and bombing of places where they should feel safe — homes, schools, hospitals, and marketplaces.
