Save the Children stated that a further 843 have been injured during that period.

The non-governmental organization’s analysis of data from the Civilian Impact Monitoring Project found that almost half of the child casualties related to the conflict were due to landmines and explosive remnants of war.

The humanitarian organization’s report noted that children are over three times more likely than adults to be killed or injured by this cause in Yemen due to a lack of mine risk awareness and increased exposure while engaged in child labor, such as tending livestock and gathering firewood.

However, Save the Children highlighted that the current truce has significantly reduced the number of civilian casualties.

The conflict in this nation began in 2014, when the Houthi rebels took up arms and occupied large swathes of the country, including the capital, Sana’a.
