Dubai: Nearly a decade into Yemenâs brutal war, some 4.5 million of its children are not attending school, the charity Save the Children said Monday.
The figure underlines how precarious daily life remains in the Arabian Peninsulaâs poorest country, despite relative calm since an April 2022 ceasefire.
âTwo in five children, or 4.5 million, are out of school, with displaced children twice as likely to drop out than their peers,â the group said in a report.
