Alwaght- Saudi-led military aggression on Yemen has killed or injured dozens of children in January and February, the United Nations said on Saturday.
"Just over the first two months of this year, 47 children were reportedly killed or maimed in several locations across Yemen," Philippe Duamelle, the Unicef representative in Yemen said in a statement on Saturday.
Duamelle said children were always the "first and most to suffer," with the actual number estimated to be higher than known cases.
Saudi Arabia launched the devastating war on its southern neighbor in March 2015 in collaboration with a number of its allied states.
The aim was to return to power the former Riyadh-backed regime and crush the popular Ansarullah movement which has been running state affairs in the absence of an effective government in Yemen.
"Since the conflict escalated in Yemen nearly seven years ago, the UN verified that more than 10,200 children have been killed or injured. The actual number is likely much higher."
Last November, the UN Development Programme said 377,000 lives would have been lost through fighting, hunger, unclean water and disease by the end of 2021.
