Twenty seven ex-child fighters in the Houthi ranks and children who experienced the horrors of the war were taken to the tourist and archeological sites of Marib including the city's historical Great Dam for healing as well as educational purposes. A psychologist in charge of the trip said entertainment program which consists of other activities will help children get rid aggressive behaviors, mindlessness and the psychological shocks they had experienced before.
