The minister pointed out that the Houthi militia used children as human shields and used them at military checkpoints and as informants.
He said the militia's indiscriminate bombing of a number of populated areas has claimed the lives of thousands of children and women, and the mines they planted in farms, roads and residential areas caused the death of a large number of children.
