"The 20th November the Children's Day comes this time with Yemeni children going through the hardest and most wretched times especially in the areas that the Houthi-Saleh militias control," she said.

"The situation of children and childhood in Yemen ushers in a catastrophe as a result of the increased number of recruited child soldiers and of child dropouts from schools owing to the militias' closure and militarization of their schools," she said.
She said that what the militias instill to children a new curricular that "calls for violence, hatred and racism."
