Yemeni children face front-line hazards to attend school
Yemeni children living near front lines face severe dangers, including snipers and mortars, as they commute to school amid ongoing conflict.
Children living near active front lines in Yemen face severe safety risks, including sniper fire and mortar attacks, on their daily journeys to school. According to reports from the region, young students continue attending classes despite the ongoing threat of military crossfire. Ten-year-old Rafeef and her younger brother are among those making the hazardous commute each morning to access basic education in subjects such as mathematics, Arabic, and Islamic studies.
Educational infrastructure in conflict zones across the country remains deeply affected by the protracted war, with many facilities damaged or situated in volatile areas. Despite the persistent danger from active fighting, families and children continue to prioritize school attendance amid precarious local security conditions.
