The ongoing conflict in Yemen has led to severe disruptions in the education sector, with reports indicating that the Houthi militia has turned numerous schools into military barracks.
This has resulted in the displacement of thousands of students and teachers, further exacerbating the already dire situation in the country.
The Yemeni government has accused the Houthi militia of exploiting the difficult conditions faced by families to recruit children and put them on the front lines.
The impact on education has been devastating, with more than 2,900 schools destroyed, damaged, or used for non-educational purposes.
The international community continues to call for an end to the conflict and the restoration of education for Yemeni children.
