Children in Yemen living under the shadow of war
Yemen, June 1 (Hibya) - Years of conflict in Yemen have left millions of children without access to education, healthcare, and security, while child labor and psychological trauma continue to rise in the capital, Sana'a.
According to CCTV, the effects of the civil war in Yemen continue to be felt most severely in the lives of children. In many regions, especially in Sana'a, millions of children are deprived of their right to education and face serious difficulties in accessing basic humanitarian needs.
Eleven-year-old Rafiq Ahmed Abdo, who lives in Sana'a, is one of the children forced to leave school to help support his family. Spending his days selling fruit on the streets, Abdo says that harsh living conditions have forced him to postpone his educational dreams.
Officials from the Ayn Al-Insaniya Center for Rights and Development, which works on children's rights and humanitarian issues, state that lack of access to healthcare, infrastructure problems, and movement restrictions are contributing to child deaths and serious health problems across the country.
Meanwhile, representatives of the National Authority for Human Rights in Sanaa report that trauma symptoms such as sleep disorders, bedwetting, and fear of loud noises have become widespread among children growing up in a war environment.
According to United Nations data, approximately 7.4 million children in the country are in need of humanitarian assistance. The prolonged conflict represents not only physical hardship but also deep psychological devastation for Yemeni children.
The crisis in Yemen is causing an entire generation to grow up without adequate access to education, healthcare, and security, while international calls to improve the humanitarian situation continue to increase.
